The West Dennis Graded School is a two-story Greek Revival building erected in 1867 on School Street in Dennis, Massachusetts, and the sole survivor of five schools the town built during that era. Beyond its primary educational function, the structure served as a polling place and town meeting site in the 1920s before being adapted as a community center in the 1950s. Now owned by the Dennis Historical Society, it was recognized on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000 and remains open to the public during summer Friday afternoons.
