History

Dedicated on November 9, 1952 at an approximate cost of US$1,150,000, Orange County High School combined students from the Orange & Unionville High Schools, and the Barboursville & Gordonsville Junior High Schools. In 1967, new classrooms, science areas, a cafeteria, and a library were added. In 1995 The Hornet Sports Center Field House was completed to provide students and the community at large access to a year round physical training center with a weight room, indoor track, basketball, volleyball as well as squash and handball courts. In autumn 2003, the school completed a multi-million dollar multi-phased renovation, that now provides the faculty and student body population a state of the art cafeteria, library and completely renovated classrooms to include an acoustically integrated choral and music instrument practice rooms along with other improvements for student use and safety while adding new larger classrooms contained in a new wing of the school.
