It is governed by a Board of Education.[1] The district operates 10 school sites, including 3 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 3 high schools, and a career and technical education center.[2] Dr. Melody Sheppard serves as the superintendent.[3] Administrative offices are located in Woodstock.

In September 1870, Capt. John H. Grabill was appointed as the first superintendent of schools for Shenandoah County under the provisions for the new public school system in Virginia. The first meeting of the Board of Education was held on April 8, 1871.[4] In the early years of the district, it had over 114 schools, the majority of which were county one-room schools.[5]
The Virginia Teachers League (now represented by the Virginia Education Association) was originally established in Mount Jackson in Shenandoah County in 1898.[4]
