Located in the southwest Virginia community of Dublin in Pulaski County, Dublin High School exemplifies the Virginia Department of Education’s initiative to provide students with spacious, well-ventilated, and amply lit instructional spaces. The 1953 Dublin High School and its 1957 addition were designed by the Roanoke firm of Smithey and Boynton and erected by Dublin-based general contractor Trinkle and Dobyns, in conjunction with the Pulaski County Board of Education’s 1950s campus improvement campaign. The two-story, red-brick-veneered school displays International Style tenets embellished by Indiana limestone accents such as an Art Moderne entrance surround. The campus operated as Dublin Middle School from the fall of 1974 until 2020, and also served as a community gathering place throughout its operation.
