Schooling in Newville began with a known school at Center Church in 1881, continued in Grange Hall after its construction in 1891, and shifted into a wood schoolhouse built in 1913 from the hall’s lumber. Newville Public School became Newville Jr. High in 1920, an up-to-date brick Newville High School opened in 1929, the Concord school building was moved to Newville in 1935, and after a fire in 1936 a new five-room structure with a large auditorium was built. The Works Progress Administration added a Vocational Building in 1938, bathrooms were added in 1944, the high school band was organized in 1961, and Newville High School closed in 1968. Black education in Newville began with a known school organized in 1894, when the Jacksonian Enterprise School opened in May and was financially supported by parents and patrons. Its library held more books than any school in that part of the country, and its grounds included Store’s Grove, a circular grove of 104 oak trees with a 30-foot avenue through the middle, each tree named for a patron. In 1919 the community sought and received help from the Rosenwald Foundation, leading to construction of the Newville Rosenwald School, and about 1922 the Henry County Board of Education began contributing financially. In the late 1940s Newville Rosenwald School became a high school, around the time the original school burned and a new building was constructed, and Rosenwald High School closed in 1968.
