Our Plans for the School

The CCRSRI purchased the school free and clear of debt in 2019!  The Town of Cape Charles donated 6+ acres of land expanding our campus to 8+ acres.  We are working to rehabilitate the building for adaptive reuse as a community hub and multifaceted economic resource.  As a Rosenwald School, it remains on Preservation Virginia’s Most endangered Historical Places list and is treasured for its brick facade, a rare design feature among Rosenwald schools. 

Well aligned with Northampton County's "Livable Communities" concept and the Town of Cape Charles' vision for the Harbor District, CCRSRI developed a strategic plan for the future uses of the school and partnerships are being developed. 

Our spaces will include:

Workforce/Job Training Classrooms

Community Kitchen

Business Incubator Space

Meeting/Presentation/Performance/Special Event Space

Exhibit Area/Artifact Storage
