Appalachia High School, located in Appalachia, Virginia, United States, was a part of Wise County Public Schools. Appalachia High educated approximately 350 students ranging from 8th through 12th grades. Appalachia High School was awarded a Bronze Medal in U.S. News & World Report's 2009 Best High Schools. In 2011, Appalachia consolidated with neighboring Powell Valley High School, located in Big Stone Gap. The new consolidated school was located in the former PVHS building until completion of the new facility in 2012 and is called Union High School, a name derived from the combination of two traditional rivals into one single school.
