Armstrong School for the Arts is celebrating 100 years, 1921 – 2021.  Armstrong is Hampton School District’s oldest, continuous school. The school was named in honor of the Armstrong family after the land where the school stands today was donated by the children of Col. William Nevins Armstrong, the brother of the Hampton Normal and Industrial School (now Hampton University) Brigadier General Samuel Chapman Armstrong.

Armstrong School for the Arts incorporates visual arts, music, drama, dance, and artistic writing into the four core subject areas of English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Library, Art, Music, and Physical Education teachers work collaboratively with classroom teachers to plan and teach hands-on art integrated lessons that enhance the Hampton City Schools curriculum. The integrated lessons have a meaningful, positive impact on student learning and achievement.
