The Nathaniel Varney Massaquoi Elementary and Junior High School is a public school within Liberia's Monrovia Consolidated School System, located in the West Point Township. The school was established in 1972, and is named for Nathaniel Varney Massaquoi (1905–1962), a Liberian educator and politician from the Vai community, who rose to become Secretary of Public Instruction. It serves as the only government school for a township of some 80,000 residents. The school received global attention in 2014–2015, when it was attacked during protests amidst the 2014 Ebola crisis, and was then restored, painted with bright murals, and reopened through international efforts.
