Class 2 Region C

History

Floyd County High School was built in 1962, a product of a county-wide movement to consolidate the three high schools in Floyd County using funding from both the federal government and the Commonwealth of Virginia. Originally, there were separate high schools in Willis, Floyd, and Check. Floyd County High School was previously located on the current site of Floyd Elementary School. Before that, it was located in the building which now houses Schoolhouse Fabrics. The first class of FCHS graduated in 1963. The school celebrated its 50th anniversary with the graduation of the Class of 2012.

In the 1970s, funds from the Appalachian Regional Development Act were used to construct a separate vocational school on the Floyd County High School campus. This school currently houses auto-mechanics, welding, computer technology and home economics classes.
