Dasher (Valdosta)

Dasher opened in 1929 because of overcrowding at Magnolia, which was turned into an elementary school. Dasher itself would become an elementary in 1956 when overcrowding caused Valdosta to build Pinevale. Dasher would remain in use through at least 1970, when its name was changed to Lomax Junior High.

 

It is currently a National Historic Site, based on its age and also for it being a Rosenwald school.
