St. Johns is a large part of the former students’ lives but also the physical landscape. Rosenwald Schools and African American education that took place there for much of the past century have rich histories that need to be shared. This research into Rosenwald Schools generally and St. Johns specifically began through the completion of a Preliminary Information Form in order for the schoolhouse to be listed as Nationally Registered Historic Site of Virginia. The site combines information about the Rosenwald Fund and research on St. Johns in an effort to use a digital public history platform to share this heritage with a wide audience.
