History

Piedmont High School was combined into Keyser High School in 1976. [3] In the late 1990s, Keyser High School moved from its former location on East Piedmont Street, which had served as Keyser High for over 100 years, to a new facility approximately three miles south. The original Keyser High School on East Piedmont Street is still standing to this very day.

In 2022 Keyser High was ranked #79 out of 116 West Virginia high schools by U.S. News. Keyser was also ranked #3 out of six high schools in the Cumberland, MD Metro Area. [4]
