Robert E. Lee High School is a public high school in Staunton, Virginia, United States.
Former school building
Robert E. Lee High School was formerly housed in a building located at 274 Churchville Avenue. The original section of the school was built in 1926, with flanking wings added in 1954. The original Colonial Revival style two-story brick central block is topped by a slate hipped roof with a cupola in the center and strongly detailed pediments facing the street. In 1983-1984, a new Lee High School was built on North Coalter Street, so the original school closed at that time. It subsequently housed a summer school for school-aged Spanish nationals to learn English, a parochial school operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Richmond, and has most recently been renovated into senior apartments.[3]
The original school was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[1]
