Proposed School Facility Project

Smyth County voters will consider a proposed 1% local sales tax increase as part of the November 2026 election. If approved, revenue generated by the additional sales tax would be designated for school capital projects.

Two projects identified as part of the proposal would provide new facilities at Chilhowie High School and Marion Senior High. The conceptual plans and renderings below provide a look at the proposed project at Marion Senior High.

Smyth County Public Schools

Welcome to Smyth County Public Schools: seven elementary schools, three middle schools, three high schools, and one county-wide Career & Technology Center serving the students and citizens of Smyth County, Virginia. We believe that parent participation is key to student success; our new website is designed to provide parents with all the information they need to be active participants in their student’s education. You will find that the site works just as well on mobile devices as it does on a desktop so you can find information on the go.
 
The new websites for individual schools are still under development. You can get basic information about each school (address, phone number, etc.) by clicking the Schools link at the top of this page. As each school's new website comes online, we will add a hyperlink to the site on the Schools page.
