Carroll County High School is located in Carroll County, Virginia, just outside the Hillsville town limits. Carroll County High School is a three-year, public, comprehensive high school with a full range of curriculum offerings in academic and vocational subjects. The current enrollment of Carroll County High School is 1158 students.
The school began its first session in 1969-70 with the consolidation of Woodlawn High School (Woodlawn, Virginia) and Hillsville High School (Hillsville, Virginia), and has had an average of approximately 1000 students each year.
In 1993, the entire county school system was restructured so that all 8th and 9th graders are housed at Carroll County Intermediate School located in the renovated building that was the old Hillsville High School. Carroll County Intermediate School and Carroll County High School work closely together in curriculum and instruction and in extra and co-curricular activities. Both have adopted the Cavalier as the school mascot.
In 2013, all the students of Woodlawn Middle School moved into the Carroll County Intermediate. The Intermediate School, then changed its name to Carroll County Middle School.
While Carroll County High School serves basically a rural community, the student body represents a variety of socio-economic backgrounds. With an increased number of people transferring to local industries, retiring to a beautiful mountain climate and moving from urban to rural areas, Carroll County High School has received students from outside the traditional county population. These students have helped diversify the cultural and social experiences of the student body.
The building at Carroll County High School is structured into a vocational wing and an academic wing on two stories. The library/media center is located on the second floor central to both wings. A greenhouse for the horticulture program and the JROTC unit are located in buildings adjacent to the main building. There is a lighted football/soccer field with a track and lighted tennis courts. The school also has separate softball and baseball fields with bleachers.
