The Nara Visa School is a historic school building in Nara Visa, New Mexico. The school was built in 1921 during the settlement of eastern New Mexico. Architect Joseph Champ Berry, noted for his work in the Texas Panhandle, designed the Mission Revival building. While the building's plain facade and red tile roof are typical of the Mission Revival style, the wood corbel brackets along the roof reflect local vernacular designs and American Craftsman influences. A gymnasium built by the Works Progress Administration and several contributing outbuildings are also on the property. As of the early 1980s, the school was still in operation; however, it has since closed, and the building is now a community center.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
