Lebanon High School (Tennessee)


Lebanon High School is a Grade 9–12 high school located in Lebanon, Tennessee founded in 1918 that is part of the Wilson County Schools district.

Construction

The building was first constructed in 1903 and housed a Grade K–8 school. In 1918, Wilson Country Schools significantly enlarged the building to house the high school in its place. A brick structure replaced the original in 1923, but a 1936 fire led to its demolition, resulting in Highland Heights Elementary and a separate high school being built. The school was renovated in 1959, and was fully reconstructed in 2012 by RG Anderson Company.
The current building is a three-story, 385,000-square-foot facility with a central two-story commons area. It is equipped with culinary kitchens, a cosmetology lab, auto mechanic shops, a carpentry studio, and ROTC facilities. There is a central atrium with a double-helical staircase that connects the separate floors to the rest of the building. The campus contains several external athletic fields for football, baseball, softball, soccer and tennis.

History

The school's mascot is the Blue Devil, adopted due to a visiting group of French soldiers called the "Blue Devils" who promoted Liberty Bonds in 1918 to aid in World War I. Another school in Lebanon, Walter J. Baird Middle School uses the Blue Devil mascot despite being part of the Lebanon Special School District, separate from WCS.
