History
In the late 1930s, Charleston High School became over-crowded so Stonewall Jackson High School was built in 1940 to accommodate the students on the West Side of Charleston. During the 80's, the student populations at CHS and SJHS dropped. In 1989, Capital High School opened, combining the students of these two formal rival schools. This ended a 49 year rivalry.
Charleston High School was torn down in mid 1989. Stonewall Jackson High School became Stonewall Jackson Junior High School that same year. A decade later, in 1999, SJJHS became Stonewall Jackson Middle School which it remains today. SJMS is part of the Kanawha County School District. SJMS is a feeder school, along with Horace Mann Middle School, for Capital High School.
