}}Valdese Elementary School, also known as Rock School, is a historic school building located at Valdese, Burke County, North Carolina. It was built in 1922-1923, and is a two-story, fieldstone four square building with a hipped roof. It features a T-shaped clerestory above the auditorium space. It was constructed largely by Waldensian settlers from Northern Italy.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]

Old Rock School is now home to several community organizations and events, including Bluegrass concerts, the Old Colony Players,[3] the Rock School Art Galleries, Old Rock School Railway Museum, and Valdese Travel and Tourism.[4]

The museum also features model railroad layouts, including a diorama depicting the original Waldensian settlers arriving by train on May 29, 1893.
