Jefferson Center, occupies an historic, landmark with a rich heritage as
former Jefferson Senior High School. The school was built in 1923. It
operated as Roanoke's main secondary school until 1974, graduating more
than 19,000 students.

We are privileged to honor the special relationship of alumni to their
school by hosting class reunions and annual activities of the Alumni
Council. Also, The Memorabilia Room is maintained as a museum and
archive of materials about Jefferson Senior High School. It contains old
yearbooks, student newspapers and photos, sports trophies and a wall of
photos citing Jefferson students who achieved extraordinary community
and national leadership positions. The Memorabilia Room is open for
visitors who research history about the school and its alumni and for
general enjoyment.

To maintain security and care of the valued items, Jefferson Center's
staff opens the room only when visitors are expected. To arrange a
visit, contact John Levin at 540-343-2624, exts. 212.
