Virginia Secondary School, home of Blue Devil Athletics, educates students grades 7-12 in Virginia, Minnesota. It is a public high school with open enrollment located on scenic 5th Avenue. The structure consists of the Technical Building, Laboratory Annex, Roosevelt, Malone Hall and Roosevelt Gymnasium area. Despite budget problems in the past decade, Virginia Secondary has maintained success in standardized state testing, athletics, graduation rates and school pride. The school day consists of 7 periods ranging from 51 to 52 minutes with 3 to 5 minutes passing time allowed. Junior high students have a closed lunch period between 3rd and 4th hours while grades 9-12 enjoy an open lunch after 4th hour. Enrollment has been declining as the population of Virginia does the same. The district owns the Urban Edge coffee shop on Chestnut street which is run by the students. Concurrent enrollment with Mesabi Range Community & Technical College is an option many juniors and seniors consider when getting ready for college. The program allows for qualified students to gain college credit without leaving the high school campus through challenging courses with collegiate formats in lectures, assignments and grading. Many of the credits earned transfer to 4 year inistitutions across Minnesota. Virginia Secondary also has partnerships with other Eastern Iron Range districts for vocational classes ranging from nursing to accounting.
