Rockbridge County High School (RCHS) was opened in 1992. At the time the school opened only the football field was equipped with lights. Installing lights on the baseball field, softball field, and tennis courts will allow teams to schedule games and matches later into the evening. This allows for more flexibility in the schedule. Scheduling games later in the evening will allow students to finish their instructional day prior to preparing for games. Also, this would allow drivers coming to RCHS to complete their regular bus routes before driving the athletic trips. Often athletic schedules depend on the availability of bus drivers. Also, installing lights on the baseball and softball fields and tennis courts will allow RCHS to host district and regional tournaments. Due to the recently established performance contract with Trane, the lighting at RCHS, both interior and exterior, will be upgraded to high performance, energy efficient bulbs. The lighting at the football field is not included in this contract. The lighting at the football field should also be upgraded to conserve energy and be cost efficient. Currently Rockbridge County High School has three tennis courts. Six courts are needed to host home tennis matches. The high school tennis teams use the Lexington Golf and Country Club for home matches. The expansion to six courts would also allow our teams additional practice space and potentially host tennis matches are our high school. Fiscal year 2023-2029
