Four rural high schools consolidate into one new $92 million facility in Buchanan County, Virginia

In Buchanan County, Virginia, four aging high schools—Council, Grundy, Hurley, and Twin Valley—have been consolidated into the newly constructed $92 million Southern Gap High School. This consolidation affects nearly 800 students in grades eight through twelve, aiming to provide better opportunities and programs that the outdated individual schools could no longer offer. The move addresses declining enrollment and the need for modern educational facilities.
