Athletic teams compete in the Virginia High School League's Black Diamond District in Region D. Its mascot is a Rebel soldier with a confederate flag.[3] The school's boys basketball team was given the Marshall Johnson Sportsmanship Award for Basketball for the 2010–2011 season.[citation needed]
Controversial Stance
The school prominently displays the Confederate flag across school property and during school events that occur on the premises. "Mountain Independence" and "Heritage, not Hate" are given as reasons for the display.[4]
