Former schools
- Vaiden High School (Vaiden) – Consolidated into J. Z. George HS in 1999
- Hathorne Elementary School (Vaiden) In 2006 Hathorne Elementary had 141 students and 21 employees. That year the district leadership proposed closing the school, something criticized by George Tubreville, mayor of Vaiden. The consolidation of Vaiden High and a decline in enrollment at Hathorne contributed to the district deciding to close the elementary school. Hathorne Elementary closed in 2010 and the district stopped using the building. In 2014 Central Mississippi Inc., intending to establish a Head Start program, bought the school for $136,000.
