St. Clare Walker School District includes two historic Black school campuses along General Puller Highway (Route 33), east of Cooks Corner in Middlesex County. The northern campus is composed of the St. Clare Walker High School, the district’s namesake. It served as a high school from 1939 through 1969 and a middle school through 1994, at which point the new St. Clare Walker Middle School in Locust Hill opened. The northern campus has subsequently served as offices and classrooms for the Middlesex County Department of Social Services. The southern campus of the St. Clare Walker School District, formerly Rappahannock Central Elementary School, was active from 1962 through 2002. The one extant historic building is the ca 1962 “Cafetorium.”
