Info

Lane High School, in Charlottesville, Virginia, was a public secondary school serving residents of Charlottesville and Albemarle County from 1940 until 1974. It was an all-white school until its court-ordered integration in 1959. Black students formerly attended Jackson P. Burley High School. It became too small to accommodate the student body, and was replaced by Charlottesville High School. In 1981, the building was converted for use as the Albemarle County Office Building, for which it has remained in use until the present day.
The structure was designed by Lynchburg, Virginia architect Pendleton Scott Clark and was built in 1939 on the site of an African-American Episcopal chapel. It was named after the former teacher and school superintendent James Waller Lane.
