Tygarts Valley Middle/High School is a public secondary school in Mill Creek, West Virginia. Established in 1923, the school serves students in grades 6 through 12.
Tygarts Valley High School opened in 1923, succeeding the former Huttonsville District High School. Its first graduating class was in 1924. A gymnasium and extra classrooms were added to the school in 1950. Basketball, which had been played at the school since 1924, was joined by baseball and football teams in 1971.
