Willston Elementary School

Willston Elementary School was a public elementary school in the Seven Corners area of Falls Church.

The school was built in 1951 and closed in 1974.[1] From its closing until 1980, the school was known as the Willston Center and housed administrative offices for the Fairfax County Public Schools system.[2]

In February 1981, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors voted to use the school as a community center for the Indochinese refugees that had moved into the area.[3]

The building now houses the Seven Corners Children's Center preschool.
