Campus
editThe current high school in Tullahoma was established on the North Jackson Street campus in 1956 and was known as the, "Million Dollar High School," due to the initial construction cost.[citation needed] The most recent addition to the building was the construction of the science wing in 1995. Work on the Wilkins Stadium began in March 2009 and the new stadium complex was completed as the 2009 school year opened. The THS Auditorium was redesigned and renovation was completed in May 2010.[3] As of 2018, Tullahoma High School has upgraded their security policies.
Programs
editThe Tullahoma High School Band competes annually in marching competitions in the fall and concert festivals in the spring. The vocal department supports three vocal groups, including the THS Aristocrats, a chorale and show choir that has won many state and regional competitions stretching back to 1976.[citation needed]
The school's athletic program has had past state team championships in baseball and golf as well as individual championships in wrestling and track.[4]
A Marine Corps Junior ROTC program was established in 2002.[5]
High School 101
editIn the 2010–11 school year, Tullahoma High School initiated a freshman academy called "High School 101" that is intended to provide small learning community for students in their first year in the high school.
Lawsuit
editIn 2023 a student was suspended for three days for posting memes that satirized Principal Jason Quick; the student filed a lawsuit using case law from the US Supreme Court Case (Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L.) to sue the Principal, School, and School District.[6]
