In 2008, Dinwiddie High School moved to a new building located on a 68-acre (28 ha) campus across the street from its former building. The new school building serves students in grades 10 through 12 with a capacity of 1,600. The move is intended to ease overcrowding and accommodate future population growth in the region. The former high school building is now Dinwiddie Junior High School for grades 8 and 9. Both schools represent the Generals. (aka: the Gens) Although the two schools are separate, many authorities have confirmed the actual closeness of the students in the junior and senior high schools. Therefore, this makes it impossible to split the two schools. [1][2] The campuses' close proximity allow for the sharing of amenities such as the football field. Due to the anticipated population growth, high school graduation is no longer held on the football field as it had been for decades. Now, graduation is held at a local university.
The Generals went to the 2008 Virginia State Championship at Lane Stadium against Phoebus High School.
