Beech Senior High School is one of the three high schools in Hendersonville, Tennessee. The current school officially opened on August 27, 1981, under the direction of Mr. Merroll N. Hyde. In 1986, the first female principal in Sumner County, Mrs. Mary Clouse, became the principal. Mr. Frank Cardwell became the principal in the 1999-2000 school year.

A major change happened in the 2005-2006 school year when a new T.W. Hunter Middle School opened. Beech relocated many of its ninth grade classes to the old T.W. Hunter building, now the high school's annex.

As of Summer 2008, the school has created an alternative to summer school, called "Credit Recovery." This is a unique program which allows students to retake core classes on the computer that they have failed in order to gain back their credits.
