Robert E. Lee High School, located in Staunton, Virginia, serves as the primary secondary education institution for the Staunton City School District. Situated on North Coalter Street, the school is deeply integrated into the local community and offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to prepare students for both post-secondary education and the workforce. The school maintains a focus on academic rigor, extracurricular involvement, and the development of well-rounded students through a variety of athletic programs, clubs, and service-oriented activities.
In recent years, the school has undergone significant identity changes. Most notably, the institution was officially renamed **Staunton High School** in 2020 following a community-led process to move away from its historic namesake. As a result, while the physical address and campus remain the same, the school now operates under the identity of the "Storm." Today, the school emphasizes a modern educational approach, leveraging technology and community partnerships to support its diverse student body while striving to foster an inclusive and forward-looking environment for all learners in the Staunton area.
