History
Prior to the current location, Tazewell High School was located in three other areas: the current locations of the Tazewell County Courthouse, the Tazewell branch of the Tazewell County Library, and the Tazewell County Administration Building.
The current location was built in 1954.
The Virginia Constitution of 1870, also known as the Underwood Constitution, establishes universal, free public education in the Commonwealth. Tazewell High School was established in October 1872.
In 1909 the old bank building which housed Tazewell High School was torn down to make way for a new school structure. This new building was first occupied on August 19, 1909, and included both elementary and high school students.
