About Maury High School

Maury High School admitted students for the first time in the fall of 1910.  As the oldest high school in the city of Norfolk, Maury is the alma mater to generations of Norfolkians, as well as alumni all over the world. Built in 1910, Maury High School represented a state of the art high school hailed as “one of the finest buildings in the entire South,” according to the Virginian-Pilot in April 1910.  The price tag for this beautiful building was $250,000.00.
