The school was the successor to Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth, a private vocational school for black students founded in 1894.[2]

The buildings were demolished in the late 1960s and 1970s,[3] and Jennie Dean Elementary School was built on part of the site. Five acres of the current campus are a park and archeological site devoted to Manassas Industrial School and Jennie Dean.[4]
