Flat Gap High School, also known as Flat Gap School Community Center, is a historic high school building located at Pound, Wise County, Virginia. It was built in 1935–1936 and is a one-story building with a three-part plan, consisting of a front gabled midsection and set-back, side-gable wings. The Classical Revival design references include rusticated stonework, molded cornice with gable returns, and a round-arched principal entrance with granite voussoirs and keystone. It ceased use as a school in the 1970s, and has been adapted for use as a community center.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[1]
