Culpeper County High School was built in 1969, expanded in 2001 and significantly renovated between 2013 and 2015.

The main floor has administrative offices, a library, studio, auditorium, cafeteria, and 65 classrooms.

In addition to courses on the CCHS campus, students can apply to participate in specialized programs that meet at off-campus locations.

A cohort of CCHS students attend Mountain Vista Governor's School to take advanced math, science, humanities, and research courses once they enter their sophomore, junior, and senior years.

The successful completion of the Germanna Scholars program allows students to earn an associate degree before high school graduation.
