About our schools
History
R. B. Worthy High School
Saltville High School
According to an account written by Shaker alumnus Roger A. Allison in 1993, throughout the 200+ years of Saltville's history, its high school has occupied at least seven buildings, has had at least three different names, and has been a source of tremendous pride for the community.

Saltville High School
While smaller one-room schools were the former model, the 20th century saw the foundation of Saltville High School on West Main Street on the site of the present medical clinic. Buildings opened in 1905 and again in 1925 for Saltville students, bringing academic rigor to our area. Pictured here is the longest-occupied Saltville High, 1925-1957, on its annual May Day celebration in 1945.

For the majority of our alumni still with us today, R. B. Worthy High School is where our school memories were made. From 1957 until 1987, this building housed up to six grade levels of students, and it is to these halls we return each year for our annual reunion. The 1987 consolidation with Rich Valley High School renamed this building Northwood High.
About The Shaker Nation
This Reunion's History
Since 2010, Shaker alumni have traveled from all over the United States to share memories with old friends during Labor Day weekend, which has become an unofficial annual Shaker Homecoming. Like previous years’ reunions, the focus of the event is to provide a gathering for those who have attended or worked at Saltville High School or R. B. Worthy High School, as well as any of their feeder elementary schools. Even if a Shaker did not actually continue on to graduation, his/her presence is equally welcome.
