History

In 1980, computer terminals and a computer for assisted instruction called STRIDE were installed at the school. Students used STRIDE to learn math, reading, and language arts. STRIDE could store information about the problems the students completed, automatically give new assignments, offer students encouragement, and give teacher information about what students are having issues with. This was done as part of a Title 1 program.[5]

In 2010, the school's girls' basketball team won the TSSAA Class AA Girls Basketball State Tournament held at Middle Tennessee State University. The team was honored and congratulated with a joint resolution in the Tennessee General Assembly.[6]

In 2011, a female teacher at the school was indicted on statutory rape. They were accused of sleeping with a teenage male student.[7]

In 2011, solar panels were installed at the school by the Tennessee Valley Authority. The site can generate 24,000 kilowatt hours annually.[8]
