Woodlawn Mate and Female Academy, a private
school, was Founded in 1878 and became the
Woodlawn Normal Institute in 1898, a preparatory
school for teachers. Named Woodlawn in 1907,
it became the first public high school in Carroll
County after the Virginia General Assembly
passed the 1906 Mann High School bill. In 1917,
School Superintendent J. Lee Cox obtained

the first school in the United States to teach
vocational agriculture under the Smith-Hughes

agricultural instructor at Woodlawn and was
