Chattanooga Central High School is a public high school in Harrison, Tennessee, USA, that opened in September 1907[1]. It was one of Chattanooga's first public high schools. Its students came from all over the Hamilton County area and the school was highly acclaimed. During the seventies, the high school was relocated onto Highway 58 in Harrison.
The school athletics teams originally went by the name Purple Warriors as the school colors are purple and gold. During an exceptionally good year in the 1930s a local sportswriter began to opine that they often "pounded" their opponents, the name stuck. The "Purple Pounders" is the current moniker often portrayed by a hammer and anvil.
