Stuart Hall is a private boarding and day school. It provides girls' boarding, (grades 8-12,) and co-ed day schooling (grades 5-12). The school's "new wing," which was completed in 1997, includes science classrooms, a gym, a new foyer and locker rooms. In 2008-2009 Stuart Hall merged with the local private elementary school Hunter McGuire School. Stuart Hall now serves students in grades PK-12.
Stuart Hall boarding students come from all over the United States. Stuart Hall (known by the students as STU), also boards international students who come from several countries and continents outside of the US, including Canada, Africa, Korea, China and Mexico. Stuart Hall is located near Mary Baldwin College, at 235 W. Frederick Street in Staunton. Because of this proximity, students in 11th and 12th grades have the opportunity to participate in classes at the College.
The students and staff participate in traditions that existed since the school first opened. Most of the traditions, such as Ring Banquet (giving of the class rings), Junior-Senior Banquet, Loving Cup, and even graduation, are planned by students and faculty members. The school also holds the Red and White competition, which is a friendly competition between students and faculty which helps promote school spirit.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or operations:
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
