History
Jack Jouett Middle School is named for Jack Jouett (patriot), a hero of the American Revolution nicknamed the "Paul Revere of the South" after he rode to warn Thomas Jefferson late at night of an impending British attack on Charlottesville.[1] The school opened in 1966 on the same day as Henley Middle School. With an overwhelming number of students for the two middle schools, many students were transferred to Burley High School, which became known as the "Jack Jouett Junior Annex" until 1977, when, with the completion of Western Albemarle High School, Jack Jouett was confirmed as a middle school providing sixth through eighth grade classes.[2] In 2003 the school underwent major construction, with significant additions including 11 classrooms and major renovations to the library and main office areas.[1]
