Welcome to Lebanon High School!  We are a fully accredited 8-12 school located at the foot of the Clinch Mountains, right in the heart of Southwest Virginia.  Graduates of Lebanon High School have found success in many career paths.  Pioneers can be found all across the nation in various walks of life. From helping to run an NFL Franchise, teaching at Virginia Tech or working in Charlotte in NASCAR, Pioneers show hard work and dedication.  Locally, Pioneer alumni raise cattle, manage banks, work in local government and serve the community in numerous capacities.  Whether our graduates settle near or far, Pioneers have an impact.  

Pioneers also take pride in our athletic programs.  In the past decade we have been fortunate enough to be a finalist or VHSL State Champion in Wrestling, Softball, Baseball, Cross Country, Theatre Festival and Forensics. We have many opportunities for our students to explore potential future paths, with student organizations such as the Buddy Club, FBLA, National Honor Society and FCA, Journalism, Theatre Arts or Engineering. Our campus also provides access to Dual Enrollment, Agricultural and Vocational programs that will prepare students to succeed in whichever path they choose to follow.  

On behalf of the faculty and staff at LHS, we welcome all of our Pioneers past, present and future. Our goal is to help you move Forward, Always Forward!
