History
In 1909 the first secondary school, Belle Heth School, was
built at Third and Downey Streets in Radford. Radford High
School was built in 1928 at its present location, which is in
the central part of the city. Because of a fire in 1937 an
auditorium and gym had to be rebuilt. In 1950 an addition
housing a girls' locker and shower rooms and a band and chorus
room were constructed. A vocational building was finished in
1952. Five classrooms and a cafeteria were added in the 1950s. A
science facility, which connected the vocational building (as it
was known then) to the main building, was constructed in 1962.
These new facilities were called the East Wing.
The construction of a new gym, parking lot, and stadium occurred
in 1967-68. The former gym was renovated into a library.
In 1970 a fire destroyed the main building, auditorium and
library; the band and chorus rooms and locker and shower rooms
were also damaged beyond repair. Classes met in various
buildings in the city. In the summer of 1971 a structure
providing additional classrooms was built at the rear of the
East Wing. In August 1972 students began the year in a new
academic building and library. The gymnasium was also enlarged
with a concession area and extra dressing room facilities. In
May, 1973, an auditorium was added to the main building.
Six new tennis courts were completed in 1977. In August, 1980, a
two-room addition to the gym was constructed to house a medical
training room and an athletic director's office. Two athletic
locker rooms for girls were constructed in 1984.
In 1989 a scoreboard, dugouts, and back-stop screen were
installed on the baseball field. The track was also resurfaced
with a rubberized material.
In 1993-1994 new band and art rooms, conference and guidance
rooms were constructed and the remaining guidance area was
renovated.
The present site contains 25.15 acres. In addition to the
academic, vocational buildings, and gym, this area includes a
stadium, an athletic field, and a driver education range.
Current classrooms in the main building total 12 with storage,
lounge and restroom facilities, administrative and guidance
offices, the library and cafeteria. The choir area includes a
rehearsal room, three practice rooms, music library, and
instrument storage rooms.
In the 1994 addition an art area which
includes a main workroom with a
ceramic/printmaking room was constructed; the band area which
includes a rehearsal room, music library and theory workrooms,
instrument storage area, and four practice rooms was built.
Classrooms in the East Wing and Vocational Building total 20
with additional storage, lounge, and restroom facilities.
One networked classroom is included as part of the East Wing.
Two networked computer labs were installed in the business rooms
in 1994 in the Vocational Building.
Two computer labs were added in 1997 that
connect Radford High School to Dalton Intermediate School.
The King Center fitness complex was completed in 1999.
