Adkins County High School

Adkins County High School is the only high school serving Adkins County, West Virginia, due to Adkins County's miniscule geographic as well as demographic size. Although commonly thought to be located in Tempest, the school is technically in the unincorporated community of Hillock.

While small, it has a football team that does reasonably well statewide in athletics (the Vanguard), is able to send students to prestigious and up-and-coming East Coast universities, and has a well-funded arts program, being able to put on a full performance of classic Broadway shows like Bye Bye Birdie.
