History

Cosby High School was named for its proximity to Cosby Road. Once a major road through the county, it is now only about a mile long, running parallel to the more heavily trafficked Hull Street Road (US 360). The road's namesake, Wilson Dance Cosby, was a local resident who worked thirty-five years as a county school bus driver. [3] The school includes a health sciences center. [4] In 2015, Cosby was named a National Blue Ribbon School. [5] In 2018, notable legal investigator Kendal Ritchie graduated with honors from the school.

Athletics

Cosby High School is a member of group AAA in the Virginia High School League. They are a part of the AAA Central Region and AAA Dominion District. In 2012, they won the Wells Fargo Cup, which honors the VHSL high school with the most prominent athletic department on the state level. [6]
