Honaker High School is a public high school located in Honaker, Virginia in Russell County, Virginia. Athletic teams compete in the Virginia High School League's A Black Diamond District in Region D.
As a member school of the Virginia High School League, all of Honaker High's extracurricular athletic and academic activities generally fall under the Region D's Black Diamond District in the smallest public school size, "A" or "1A," depending on the activity. In VHSL's history, Honaker High has produced three members of the league's Hall of Fame: Heath Miller, longtime baseball coach Tom Harding, and Ben Valley, 1951–55, who also played basketball for cross-county rival Lebanon High School during his career. Valley was inducted in the VHSL Hall of Fame's 1992 class. Both Miller and Harding were part of the 2016 VHSL Hall of Fame class.
Since the creation of VHSL's Scholastic Bowl program, Honaker High's academic team has been a dominating force in Virginia's far western counties, and overall the school's most successful academic or athletic program, winning 3 state championships, including back-to-back state titles in 2016 and 2017, a first in HHS history for any VHSL-sanctioned sport or activity.
The Scholastic Bowl team won the Black Diamond District regular season and/or district tournament a record sixteen consecutive times from 1998 to 2013. That streak also included over ten Region D Championships. After the VHSL's switch to a new system of school divisions in 2013-14 (from 3 size classifications into 6), the Tigers won 4 consecutive conference tournament championships and 3 conference regular season championships. They have never failed to qualify for a VHSL regional tournament in Scholastic Bowl's 20 year history, and have been a competitor at the VHSL State Tournament 15 times, which as of 2017-2018 is more appearances than any team in the 1A classification. Since 1998, the team finished as state runner-up in 2010, 2012, and 2013.
