History

Campus

Moving from a location closer to the downtown area of Pikeville, the current high school building was constructed in 1976. It consisted of classrooms, a library, a central two-story common area, and a gymnasium; dedicated after T.W. Oliver. In 1996, an auditorium was added adjacent to the school on its eastern side; seating capacity of 1000, it was built to augment the building and provide space for performances by the arts and music departments, which previously had been relegated to performing in the gymnasium. Further modifications to the school included a second level weight room above the school's south end, adjacent to the gymnasium, and an outdoor gathering area and veterans' memorial. The entire school received an outdoor renovation in the mid-2000s.
