Ripley High School (West Virginia)

In order to uphold its legal right to exist as an educational institution, it had to combine with the grade school in the following year due to an extremely low number of students.

In 1918, however, during the Spanish flu pandemic, health authorities closed the school until January 1, 1919.

Later in 1919, voters approved funds for the construction of a new building, which was completed in 1922.

The Main Building of the school received a multimillion-dollar renovation in 2002 and, in 2008, construction began on a chemistry lab addition, which was finished in 2009.

The football field, known as Memorial Stadium, received new astroturf in 2004 and this was replaced in 2018.
