George W. Watkins Elementary School
George W. Watkins Elementary School, Primary school in Quinton, United States
The elementary school occupies a 10-acre property with educational facilities serving kindergarten through fifth-grade students in New Kent County.
Built in 1950, the school functioned as an African American-only institution until the Supreme Court case Green v. County School Board changed segregation policies.
The institution honors Dr. George W. Watkins, who led Second Liberty Baptist Church from 1928 to 1971 while advocating for community education.
Located at 6501 New Kent Highway, the school maintains modern classrooms, a library, and specialized departments for exceptional education and music programs.
The property earned National Historic Landmark status in 2001 for its role in transforming educational integration policies across the United States.
