Etowah High School (Tennessee) Explained
Etowah High School was a public high school in Etowah, Tennessee. It was a part of McMinn County Schools.
It was built in 1925 and had two stories.[1]
Circa 1951, when Kenneth Barker began his term as a principal, there were 320 students.[1]
The number of students was 416, during the 1955–1956 school year.[2]
By 1958 enrollment was up to 448. That year several students criticized what the Associated Press stated that they stated was a "deplorable" state, and the students did a walkout.[1] This walkout lasted for at least four days.[3]
The school consolidated into McMinn Central High School in 1966.[4] The McMinn County School District set up an auction for the Etowah High land, with the Etowah city government being one of the bidders.[5]
