The feeder schools are Shenandoah Elementary, and Stanley Elementary. Page County High School has an [[auditorium]] that can hold approx. 700 people, a [[gym]] with two side of retractable bleachers, a full [[library]], a [[cafeteria]] that feeds students in 45 minute blocks each day, and three computer labs. In 2005 a distance learning lab was instituted that allows students and teachers to communicate with [[Luray High School]] in real time. The school's mascot is the [[Black panther|Panther]].
