History

Stonewall Jackson High School opened in September 1959, as one of the three newly consolidated schools in the county. The first year's enrollment in grades 8-12 was 501. There were originally nineteen classrooms. In 1964, four classrooms were added while one was lost in becoming the guidance office. Major construction was done in 1993, with six classrooms added which became known as the science wing.

Renovations were done and new additions were built in 2004. Each existing classroom was renovated and air conditioning was installed. New construction consisted of a gymnasium, four locker rooms, weight room, wrestling room, indoor/outdoor concession stand, PE offices, training room, laundry room, band room, chorus room, library media center, office suite, guidance office suite, clinic, expanded cafeteria, seven new classrooms, and a teacher's workroom.

Starting in the 2018–2019 school year, 8th grade was returned to the high school to accommodate for overcrowding.

The school is named after Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, a famous Civil War general.

Name Change

Due to the George Floyd Protests, On July 10, 2020, the school board voted to remove the name Stonewall Jackson and the name of the mascot. The new name of the school is still unknown but is causing a lot of controversy with Shenandoah County residents.
