Christiansburg High School is located at 100 Independence Blvd. in Christiansburg, Virginia in the County of Montgomery and is located just minutes from Virginia Tech and Radford University. The school opened in 1906 and had its first graduating class of three students in 1909. The school was named for the town in which it was built.

The town of Christiansburg, the county seat of Montgomery County incorporated November 10, 1792 and was named after Colonel William Christian, one of the first justices. Colonel William Christian studied law with Patrick Henry and courted and married Henry's sister, Ann.

The school also is a part of the region that sends students to SWVGS (Southwest Virginia Governor's School) in Pulaski County.
