Hedrick's School was located in Ashby District on the Port Republic Road south of Peach Grove. The school is noted but not named in Lake's 1885 Atlas of Rockingham County. It was at the intersection of the Port Republic Road and the Swift Run Gap Road (currently Route 704). The school was built in 1870 as a private (subscription) school and was incorporated into the public school system in 1872. The teachers at Hedrick's School are not known.

In 1899 a new schoolhouse was built at the same location. This school served at this location until 1908 when it was consolidated into the new Peach Grove School. In September of 1911, the Hedrick School building was torn down and rebuilt near Cross Keys and became the Union School. A year later, the lot was sold to George Huffman for $10.
