I heard Virginia Polytechnic is one of the two key high schools.

It's always funny to me to hear about any marriage of Appalachian culture with the refined culture of The University. If you listened to some of the more vocal (i.e. - ignorant) Hoo fans, you'd believe that anyone who doesn't fit their mold is a mouth breathing
yokel. It's tough to reconcile that mentality, which seems pervasive through a not-so-insignificant portion of their fanbase, with the stated purpose of the Friends of Appalachia program:
"The Office of Admission was very adamant about reaching out to the Appalachian community and making sure that students know that not only is this a viable option for them and they belong here, but there is a community of people here that is waiting to welcome them.”
