Broadway High School is a public secondary school in Broadway, Virginia. It is located at 269 Gobbler Drive.

History

The original Broadway School was a small, one-room building that opened in the mid-1870s and was taught by C. E. Barglebaugh, just eighteen years old. Four rooms were added over the years, but it burned down in 1907. A brick building with a library, office, auditorium, and six rooms replaced it. A high school was built adjacent to that building in 1920, and grade school and high school were divided. A new facility built west of the town in the 1950s was used as a high school until completion of the current building at its current location in January 1998, upon which time it became J. Frank Hillyard Middle School, named for its former principal. The SCA buried a time capsule in 1992 that will be opened in 2032.[2]

Broadway has had 2 district player of the years since 2010. One coming in 2016 and the other following in 2017.
