Worsham High School, also known as Worsham Elementary and High School and Worsham School, is a historic high school complex located near Farmville, Prince Edward County, Virginia. It was built in 1927, and is a one- to two-story, banked brick building with a recessed, arched entrance showing influences from the Colonial Revival style. The school contains 12 classrooms on two floors arranged in a "U" around a central auditorium/classroom. Also on the property are the contributing agriculture building and cannery, both rectangular cinder block buildings built about 1927. In 1963-1964, the Worsham School was one of four County schools leased by the Prince Edward Free School system, a privately organized but federally supported organization providing free schooling for the African-American students of Prince Edward County.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
