Most recently owned by Guardian Angel Regional Catholic School, the old Robert E. Lee High School in Staunton has been sold to a Charlottesville developer. Octagon Partners purchased the property with the intention of renovating it into senior independent living apartments.
The old school sits on Churchville Avenue two blocks west of the Staunton public library and half-a-dozen blocks from the historic downtown area. It is situated on the corner of Thornrose Avenue which runs beside Gypsy Hill Park so its close proximity to the park and its location on the trolley line will make it convenient for residents.

Staunton's Guardian Angel Catholic School to close
After struggling financially for years, Guardian Angel Catholic School, located on Churchville Avenue across from Gypsy Hill Park in Staunton, is closing. A minimum goal of 150 students needed to be enrolled for the upcoming school year but only 96 had signed up.
The school had been a part of the community for 12 years and, in 2004, moved to the old Robert E. Lee High School building on Greenville Avenue. It offered education for grades K-12 and sports programs.
The local home school community's sports teams often competed against Guardian Angel soccer and basketball teams.
Two of my neighboring families have children who attend Guardian Angel so it will be an adjustment for them to relocate their kids into another school.
School's out forever, a more indepth article by Bob Stuart can be found in today's Waynesboro News Virginian including interviews with Principal Dan Dolan and Guardian Angel parent John Wirth.
