Magna Vista High School is a comprehensive public high school in Henry County, Virginia. Named for the Magna Vista plantation which occupied the land where it sits,[4] it is approximately three miles west of the town of Ridgeway, Virginia and ten miles (16 km) south of the city of Martinsville, Virginia. Magna Vista currently enrolls approximately 1000 students in grades 9-12. It is one of two comprehensive high schools operated by Henry County Public Schools.

Opened in 1988, the campus consists of a state-of-the-art greenhouse, livestock barn, and extensive athletic facilities. The school is on a wooded 110-acre (0.45 km2) tract of land close to Chestnut Knob, the highest point in Henry County.
