VHSL Region IV
Prior to the 2014 VHSL Realignment, VHSL Region IV was a VHSL region in class AA, consisting of schools with 700 to 1500 students lying from Roanoke westward. It contained the Piedmont District, River Ridge District, and Southwest District. Like all VHSL regions, it sent two teams to the VHSL Scholastic Bowl state championship tournament for the sixteen-year duration of the original Scholastic Bowl tournament structure.
