Monelison Middle School

Monelison Middle School is the larger of two middle schools in Amherst County, Virginia. Located just outside the Lynchburg city limits and one block off U.S. 29 Business, Monelison draws a diverse mix of urban and rural students from across the southern end of the county.

Fully accredited, Monelison combines academic rigor with a positive and supportive climate. With a strong commitment to both excellence and equity, the school strives to retain and uplift its exurban student population by offering enriching experiences and a robust learning environment.

Monelison is more than a school—it’s a social and geographic anchor for the community. The school serves as:

• A gathering space for civic, academic, and athletic events

• A polling location for local and state elections

• A designated emergency shelter, as it was following the April 2018 tornado that impacted the nearby Elon community
