Farragut High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Farragut High School is a high school located in Farragut, Tennessee, a suburb of Knoxville, Tennessee. It is part of the unified Knox County, Tennessee school district. The original Farragut, the first consolidated high school in Knox County, was built in 1904 across the street from its current location on land currently occupied by a supermarket and strip mall. Up until the late 1990s, the original stadium lights could still be seen behind the supermarket at the original location.
The school was moved to its current location on a hill overlooking Farragut in 1976.
