Galax High School

Galax High School Home of the Galax Maroon Tide The first public school offered a two-year high school program and had six graduates in 1909.

There has been growth within the Galax City Public School System since the original promoters of the town allocated ten acres of pine grove for public school purposes. In 1912 it became a four-year high school with five graduates. A new and separate high school building was begun in 1953. Improvements continued at intervals with the cafeteria, auditorium, and gymnasium being added in the late 1960

’s and early 1970’s. Our most recent renovation, completed in the Spring of 2009, included new windows and doors, a new heating and cooling system, and an upgrade to the electrical systems. Today's facility consists of three buildings which house the high school, the middle school, and the career and technical education complex.
