History
An All-Black Elementary School in Pre-Integration Herndon. By Barbara Glakas.
The second Oak Grove Elementary School opened in 1953, and was closed in June 1964. It was the first school closed during integration. In 1954, the boundary line between Fairfax and Loudoun counties was re-surveyed, and a portion of the school property ended up on the Loudoun County side of the line. The majority of Oak Grove students were integrated into Floris, Herndon, and Navy elementary schools
Oak Grove historical marker. Prior to the 1953 structure, Blacks attended school in a two room, wooden structure, 1/2 mile NE of the sign. We are uncertain about opening date.
