Page County High School is a public secondary school located in Shenandoah, Virginia. The dedication of the original building in 1961 brought together students from the former Shenandoah and Stanleyhigh schools. It is one of the few five-year high schools in the United States, with grade levels 9-12, and has an enrollment of approximately 700 students. The feeder schools are Shenandoah Elementary, and Stanley Elementary. Page County High School has an auditorium that can hold approx. 700 people, a gym with two side of retractable bleachers, a full library, a cafeteria that feeds students in 45 minute blocks each day, and three computer labs. In 2005 a distance learning lab was instituted that allows students and teachers to communicate with Luray High School in real time. The school's mascot is the Panther. Major Renovations of Page County High School took place during the summer of 2002. The front facade, doors, and windows were replaced, and many interior changes were made. There are were permanent annexes behind the school that housed math and foreign language classes. A new building was built directly behind the now standing Page County Middle School. A new rubber track was added in the summer of 2015. Athletic Complex Page County High School houses an exquisite athletic complex, which hosts all of the school's sports. To the left of the school is the Practice Soccer and PracticeFootball fields. Before the Middle school stands the track, which circles the football/soccer field. Unlike many tracks, Page County's track is not regulation length, therefore all running events start and end differently. The school's softball field is on a hill behind the high school. The Baseball and Softball field stands to the left of the track and football field. The cross country course begins and ends on the football field, but runs through nearby woods and around two large fields, one behind the school and one adjacent to the baseball field. Basketball and volleyball are both played inside the school's gym. The school's golf team practices and plays home matches at the Luray CavernsCountry Club.
New Construction
In August 2006, the Page County Board of Supervisors approved construction of two new high schools in the county. These plans would turn the current Page County High School building into a middle school. The groundbreaking was in November 2006, and the school was scheduled to be completed for the opening of the 2009-2010 school year.
The New PCHS
In September 2009, The New Page County High School opened its doors, and will see its first class of Seniors, the class of 2010 graduate in June 2010. The new building is located directly above the old PCHS; which now houses Page County Middle School.
