Hidden Valley High School is a public high school in Roanoke County, Virginia. It is one of the six high schools in the Roanoke County public school system. Hidden Valley High School is one of the two high schools, along with Cave Spring High School, that serve southwestern Roanoke County.
History: Hidden Valley High School was opened for the 2002-2003 school year by Roanoke County public schools in response to overcrowding at Cave Spring High School. Enrollment at Cave Spring was limited to grades 10-12 in contrast to the contemporary educational preference to house grades 6-8 in middle school and grades 9-12 in high school. Hidden Valley was the first new high school opened in the immediate Roanoke Valley because of increased enrollment since the 1960's. There was significant debate about whether to split Cave Spring's student population into two schools or keep it intact in a renovated or newly constructed building because of the school's well regarded reputation in academics. Eventually, Roanoke County decided to build a second high school for southwest county.
The name Hidden Valley was selected to correspond to Hidden Valley Middle School in southwest county. The high school is not in the Hidden Valley section of Roanoke County and is a little over three miles from the middle school. Woods End, the designation for the tract of land, was also considered for the new school's name. The incoming student population selected the nickname Titans in response to the recently released movie Remember the Titans which dramatized the 1971 state championship football team from T.C. Williams High School of Alexandria, Virginia.
Academics: Hidden Valley High School is a comprehensive high school which includes grades 9-12 with a student enrollment of 1,111. The school offers courses in multiple academic disciplines including Advanced Placement courses. Specialized vocational education is available at the Arnold R. Burton Technology Center in Salem. Pass rates for Virginia's Standards of Learning tests average over 90%, which makes the school fully accredited. Hidden Valley High formerly housed the Specialty Center for Mass Communications, until it was moved to the Arnold R. Burton Technology Center in the 2006-2007 school year. A team of Corey Bapst, Starr Anderson, and Ashley Chapman took first place in Virgina for SkillsUSA and twelfth in the nation for the same competition in 2006.
Athletics and Extracurriculars: Hidden Valley High School is a member of the Virginia High School League and competes in the AA River Ridge District in Region III of Group AA. In its short history, Hidden Valley has captured Group AA state championships in men's swimming and diving, men's tennis, and women's soccer. Hidden Valley won the Wachovia Cup, the VHSL's award for overall athletic excellence, in Group AA for the 2005-2006 school year. The school has also established strong programs in women's tennis, women's basketball, volleyball, and men's soccer. The school has three instrumental musical groups: the wind ensemble, the concert band and symphonic band. The marching band has well over 200 members and has earned both "Excellent" and "Superior" ratings at the annual state marching festival, and also the concert festival in the spring. The band is one of the largest in the state, a Class 5A band, and earned a "Superior" in 2006 at the VBODA State Marching Festival from all 5 judges.
Hidden Valley High School also has a choir, who has been selected to perform in and has performed in the Disneyworld Candlelight Processional in 2003, 2004,2005 and 2006. Various members of the choir also sang backup for Bob Carlisle when he came to Roanoke for a small performance in November 2004.
Hidden Valley's football program also excelled in the 2006 season making to the playoffs and winning for the first time in school history. After that accomplishment the Titans won the Regional Championships giving the team their first accomplished award. The football team is known for their classy play and their motto "A.T.E "Be the Hog." Head Coach J.R Edwards has led his team this year to a (10-2) overall record. Senior players for the 2006 season included; Quarterback Bryan Asquith, Fullbacks Alex Ray and Cory Sloane. Recievers Josiah Goins, T.C Bane and Nick Montonni. Linemen John Artusio, Raleigh Priddy, Rob Peterson, Jamison Braxton-Sears. Tailbacks Robbie Scoggins and Steve Allen. Kicker Evan Muellener. Up and Coming players include Tightends, Chris Savoie,Joe Greenway,Timmy Rowe, tailback David Turner, Linebacker Chad Earhart,Linemen Spencer Black, Greg Sciallabba, Mark Sloane, Marko Krkjelas, Brian Vieth, Todd Harris, as well as an all-purpose back in Zac Smith. Supporters of the team include; Bramblemton Deli, Tommy Smith at Woodmen of the World, HVYSA, Kroger, and Bojangles among others. The team suffered a heart breaking lost to Richlands High 44-14 in their state semi final match up but the team had accomplished more than they or anyone else in Roanoke could have ever imagined possible for a team that has been around only 5 years, but it is doubtful that anyone not on the team will care in 10 years.
