Matthew Fontaine Maury High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matthew Fontaine Maury High School, one of five city comprehensive high schools, is a high school located in historic Ghent area of Norfolk, Virginia. Ghent, the community immediately surrounding Maury High School, has experienced an extensive period of renewal which includes upscale single-family and town home construction along with a steady increase of small, thriving businesses.
Maury High School first opened its doors in 1911 and was completely renovated in 1986. This modernization maintained the architectural integrity of the original neo-classical structure while converting Maury into a then state-of-the-art educational facility complete with media center and cafeteria atria where unused courtyards once stood. Maury remains a source of pride for the community.
Maury's school mascot is the Commodore. The high school is named for Matthew Fontaine Maury.
