Matewan High School, located at 100 Tiger Lane, Matewan, West Virginia, was a public high school that served students in the small town of Matewan and surrounding areas. The school was part of the Mingo County Schools district. Known for its close-knit community and relatively small student body, Matewan High School fostered a supportive educational environment with a focus on both academic and extracurricular activities. Sports, particularly football, were an integral part of the school culture, proudly represented by their mascot, the Tigers. However, like several other small schools in the region, Matewan High School was eventually closed due to consolidation efforts within the county to streamline resources and improve educational facilities. Students from Matewan High typically moved to Mingo Central Comprehensive High School after the closure. The closure of the school marked the end of an era for the Matewan community, which had a deep connection with the institution and its history.
