Education has always been important to the people of Washington County.
Even before homes were built, schools were held in wagon boxes and
temporary shelters. The first school was built in Virgin in 1860. Three
others soon followed. In 1901, a central school was completed offering two
years of high school.
In 1911, the first college was founded which comprised of only one
building. It was named the St. George Stake Academy but later took on the
name, Dixie College, and is now known as Dixie State College. It is a full
service, comprehensive 4-year community college that serves over 5,000
students and covers over 100 acres in St. George.
