• History & Memorable Moments

Parkersburg High School was one of the very first high schools in the state of West Virginia. The school was founded in 1867, and the original location of Parkersburg High School was in downtown Parkersburg. The current building housing PHS is a Tudor-style building with three stories. It was built in 1917, making it one of the oldest school buildings in West Virginia and it remains one of the largest high school campuses in the state. Later additions included Stadium Field and a multi-story gymnasium. ^[1]

PHS continued to serve as the only high school in Parkersburg, at one point holding a population of around three thousand students. It was only after graduating a class of one thousand that a second public school was founded in 1967. This in turn started a rivalry between the two schools that continues to be one of the largest and most famous in the state of West Virginia. The rivalry between the two sides of Parkersburg originated much earlier in the town's history, so the rivalry between the two schools was a natural spin-off that has brought about some dramatic competition. ^[1]
