History

Four buildings in a century.

Blacksburg High School is the public high school for the town of Blacksburg, and it has moved several times since the town first set up a high school in the early 1900s. Its 1974 building on Patrick Henry Drive was closed after the gymnasium roof collapsed under heavy snow in February 2010, and the school moved into its current building on Bruin Lane, next to Blacksburg Middle School, in 2013.
