Education

All of White Hall is served by the White Hall School District.<!--It seems https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/DC2020/PL20/st05_ar/schooldistrict_maps/c05069_jefferson/DC20SD_C05069.pdf does NOT show any part of White Hall in Dollarway SD while https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/dc10map/sch_dist/st05_ar/c05069_jefferson/DC10SD_C05069_001.pdf (2010) does. Perhaps it was an error by the Census Bureau, as I am not aware of Dollarway giving away any land to White Hall SD--> White Hall High School is the zoned high school of the district.
