Appalachia High School - Location

Location

The school is publicly noted for its scenic location at the top of a small hill, in overview of the nearby mountains, and about 900 yards from the rest of town, as well as being a short distance from the elementary school. In most parts of the campus the town of Appalachia can clearly be seen, particularly the regions of town near Main Street. The school is split into four buildings surrounding the football field in a crescent shape with the field closest to the nearby mountains. The buildings are all bordered on the outside by parking lots, on the far end (leaving path) is a moderate suburb of the town. In all other directions, forestry covers the large hillside, with the tennis court on a trail a short distance in. The buildings are home to (in the order they appear as you enter the campus.): "The Doghouse", which contains the personal weight and locker rooms for athletes. The second building is a two story building that houses the gymnasium, the cafeteria, the band/music room, and the boiler room, as well as boy's and girl's locker rooms for day to day use, the Health room,the school store, and the athletic trophy display. The third building is the largest building on campus. It contains most of the school's classrooms, taking place inside of its three stories with the guidance office, the main office, the library, a small underground storm shelter, and two computer labs. The last of the four buildings is the auditorium, with enough room to seat all students, and a large theatrical/presentation stage, as well as the in-school-suspension room underground.
