[edit] Facilities

Completed in 1939, the Colonial revival-style school consisted of an academic building called Morton Hall, a gynasium called Civic Hall which is now the Civic Hall Performing Arts Center, an auditorium which seats 924 and McGuire Hall which houses the Richmond Art Museum, believed to be the only public art museum connected with a public high school. An icon of the museum collection is a very large self portrait of the American impressionist William Merritt Chase painted for the museum in 1915-16. After outgrowing the Civic Hall gymnasium, the Tiernan Center was built as the home to boys and girls basketball, volleyball, and wrestling. It is one of the largest high school basketball venues in the United States, with a seating capacity of 8,100 people.

The Richmond High School Alumni Association is one of the oldest public high school alumni associations in the United States and boasts a significant scholarship endowment known as the Richmond College Incentive Plan.
