Lee High School is a public school located in unincorporated Lee County, Virginia, near Jonesville. It is a part of the Lee County School District. It is one of two high schools in Lee County, Virginia.HistoryFounded in 1989, Lee High School was formed by consolidating Jonesville High School, Dryden High School, Keokee High School, Flatwoods High School and Pennington High School. Some of the schools had enrollments dropping under 200 students, leading the district to duplicate services between small schools (making advanced classes with smaller enrollments difficult to offer). Athletic opportunities were strained at the very small schools.Thomas Walker High School was not included in the consolidation because of its position at the western end of the county.AthleticsLee High School-Sports PageLee High was initially a football powerhouse, making the playoffs in their first season and reaching the state championship in 1990. Lee lost the game to Tabb High School in the last minutes of the game, 21-14. In the 2000s, the school football team, the Generals, won only a handful of regular season games. The unexpected decline in football was due in part to the revolving door that became the head coaching position following the retirement of head coaches Don Williams (1989–1992, 1997–1998) and Allen Kinser (1993–1996), both former Pennington High School coaches. In more recent years, the football program has improved its form, making the state playoffs in 2013, 2014, and 2015.
