Woodlawn High School (Woodlawn, Virginia)

The following year all tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade students became part of the new Carroll County High School (Virginia).

[4] Woodlawn Male and Female Academy was a boarding school attracting students from several nearby counties and states.

This building was later used by the high school for a cafeteria, supply store and extra classrooms until it too was destroyed by fire on January 27, 1960.

[6] The Virginia General Assembly doubled the state's education budget in 1906 and passed the Mann High School Bill.

This bill, named after Senator William Hodges Mann of Nottoway County, obligated the state to pay matching funds to any district that built a high school.

[7] The honorable Claude A. Swanson was governor of Virginia in 1906 when money was appropriated to establish a public high school at Woodlawn.

[8] Construction of the high school's early, main academic building began in 1907 on twelve acres of land.

J. Lee Cox, superintendent of Carroll County Schools at the time, 1917, is given much credit for seeing the need for vocational agriculture classes.

He went to the state capitol and persuaded the governor, Henry Carter Stuart, to let him develop the classes at Woodlawn.

[11] The classes also aided in the establishment of a Carnation Milk plant in nearby Galax, Virginia to support area dairy farms.

Beginning with the 2013-2014 academic year, students attended the newly formed Carroll County Middle School Hillsville, Virginia.

The project will also feature amenities such as a park, walking trail and children’s recreation facilities.

This is the official list of historic buildings, districts, sites, structures, and objects worthy of preservation in the United States of America.

The Treaty of Lochaber, between British representative John Stuart (loyalist) and the Cherokee, made the land available for settlement about 1770.

Professor George Ivy served as principal of the Woodlawn Male and Female Academy.

From Norfolk they sailed the Chesapeake Bay to Baltimore then traveled to Washington, D.C., touring the city for several days.

The band performed in numerous area and national parades, at special events, concerts, festivals, state and regional competitions, WHS football games and band days at Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia.

Woodlawn Male and Female Academy had a well rounded athletic program including baseball, football, tennis and track.

As a high school, Woodlawn produced some outstanding basketball teams during the mid-to-late 1960s but it was baseball that became the Raiders most prominent sport.

[24] In 1964 the school’s baseball team began a streak of forty-one consecutive victories stretching into the 1967 season.

[25] During this streak on April 21, 1966, pitcher Harry Isom recorded a seven inning (standard for high school) perfect game.

[26] As of April 2016, the feat had never been duplicated in 100 years of Virginia High School League (VHSL) baseball.
