History
The Mann Act in 1906 provided for a system of high schools across the state. High schools were eventually built for white students in the county at Midway (1911 - 1965), Sunnyside (1912 - 1930), Dinwiddie (1913 - 1965), Darvills (1914 - 1942), McKenney (1916 - 1930). These were all consolidated into Dinwiddie County High School in 1965.
Campus
In 2008, Dinwiddie High School moved to a new building located on a 68-acre (28 ha) campus across the street from its former building. The new school building serves students in grades 9 through 12 with a capacity of 1,600. The move is intended to ease overcrowding and accommodate future population growth in the region. The former high school building is now Dinwiddie Middle School for grades 6 through 8. Both schools are nicknamed the Generals, or the Gens. Although the two schools are separate, many authorities have confirmed the actual closeness of the students in the junior and senior high schools. Therefore, this makes it impossible to split the two schools. The campuses' close proximity allow for the sharing of amenities such as the football field.
