Gordon-Barbour History
The Gordonsville Female Institute was actually the first school built on the same site as the present facility; it was constructed in 1878 and was a girls' school. Orange County bought the building in 1910 and converted it in to a public school in 1914. Originally known as Gordonsville High School, it housed both secondary and elementary school students. In 1952, the high school students were moved to Orange County High School and Gordonsville Elementary School served students in grades one through seven. In 1965, that structure was razed and the present building was constructed; the elementary schools at Gordonsville and Barboursville were combined to form Gordon-Barbour Elementary School.

Gordon-Barbour Elementary School teachers and staff spent their first day back at the Triple C Camp in Charlottesville. They participated in challenge and team building activities to prepare them for the start of the school year. Following each activity, teams spent time reflecting on team building skills and lessons learned that can be applied to their daily interactions with students.
