Shenandoah's History

Dayton, Virginia was Shenandoah’s home for 85 years. In 1875, the university was founded there as Shenandoah High School. Over the next 85 years, the institution changed names six times but always kept “Shenandoah” as part of its name. In 1946, the school nearly closed due to financial concerns. Rather than closing the school, university president Dr. Forrest S. Racey oversaw the move to Winchester. The last classes in Dayton began in the fall of 1959 with an enrollment of 159 students. Shenandoah opened its doors in Winchester in September 1960.

In Winchester, the school began to thrive and, in 1991, became Shenandoah University.

The Shenandoah of Today

The university now spans 5 locations:

Shenandoah offers over 150 academic programs for undergraduate and graduate students across seven schools:
