 In the 1950s, the WCHS football team had several undefeated seasons.This success came to an end during the segregation/integration crisis of the late 1950s.Because WCHS was the only high school in the County (no "separate but equal" black high school), and local authorities were not ready to comply with U.S. Supreme court-ordered integration, WCHS was ordered closed by the Governor in the fall of 1958, as part of Virginia's "massive resistance" to implementation of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Brown vs. Board of Education.
