History
Tygarts Valley High School opened in 1923, succeeding the former Huttonsville District High School. Its first graduating class was in 1924. A gymnasium and extra classrooms were added to the school in 1950. Basketball, which had been played at the school since 1924, was joined by baseball and football teams in 1971. Also during the 1970s, an annex was built behind the gym and an 8 classroom junior high section was added. The original section of the school was replaced in 2001.
