History and Overview of Matoaca High School:

Matoaca High School, located in the southern part of Chesterfield County, originally opened its doors in September, 1963. The address of the school was 6001 Hickory Road, Ettrick, VA. In 2002, after 39 years of operation, the old building closed for the last time as Matoaca High School. In the fall of 2002, the present facility opened at 17700 Longhouse Lane, Chesterfield, VA. The old building has been converted to an extension of Matoaca Middle School. The community is rapidly evolving from a university town (Virginia State University) and rural village with some farming to a progressively upwardly mobile suburban community.
