History

Ridgeley students received their high school education at Allegany High School in Cumberland, Maryland until 1934, when a high school program was established in the town. The first graduating class in 1935[1] had 13 students.[2]

The school closed as a result of consolidation in 1976 and was succeeded by Frankfort High School.

Campus

Ridgeley High School sits on a plot of land in the center of the town by the levee which separates the property from the Potomac River. The building is a two story school with L-shaped hallways on both levels. On the lower level (essentially the basement) classrooms lined the front of the school and the side facing the football field. The cafeteria was at the center of the L in the basement. Aside from lunches, the space was used for weekly sock hops on Friday nights providing entertainment to students. On the upper floor, classrooms lined the outer walls facing the street. On the football field side, classrooms lined both sides of the hallway. The other side of the hall was mostly occupied by the gym where basketball games were played. Outside, the football field took up a large portion of the property. The football stadium had no lights, so games were played on Friday afternoons with students released early to attend. The property behind the school was also used by gym classes for calisthenics. The football field was also used for years by other local sports teams including the Ridgeley Rams football team.

The building was demolished over two weeks beginning on October 22, 2018.[3]

Extracurricular activities

The Ridgeley Blackhawks football team won the West Virginia Class A championship in 1975.[4]
