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 (WCS) district.[3]
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.[4]
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.[4]
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.[5] Another school in Lebanon, Walter J. Baird Middle School uses the Blue Devil mascot despite being part of the Lebanon Special School District (LSSD), separate from WCS.[6]
2025-2026 Administration
