[edit] History
Science Hill High School originates from the Science Hill Debating Society, founded in 1864. In 1866, it was renamed Science Hill Seminary and later became known as Science Hill High School.
The high school was named for its placement on a hill located on North Roan Street in Johnson City, TN. The campus was moved to its current location at 1509 John Exum Parkway in the early 1960s.
This high school is formally known as the Science Hill Institute of Technology, whose abbreviation aptly describes everything about the school.
