The 2011 Virginia earthquake caused significant damage to the school. Following an investigation, the building was condemned. As a temporary measure, the high school students shared the middle school for the next several months. High school students attended on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, while middle school students attended Tuesday, Thursday and every other Saturday. As this was going on, a system of modular buildings were set up in the high school parking lot. From 1 February, the high school students began attending class in the modular buildings. The new Louisa County High School opened in August 2015 in time for the start of the 2015 school year.
