David Crockett High School is located in Jonesborough, Tennessee. It is one of two high schools in the Washington County, Tennessee School System and serves the southern part of the county. The first graduating class was awarded diplomas in 1972. Enrollment as of 2005 was over 1,200 students. Students start from four elementary/middle schools: Jonesborough Elementary and Middle, West View, Lamar, and South Central. Its "rival" school is Daniel Boone High School, the other high school in Washington County, which serves the northern part of the county. The school colors are brown and old gold and the mascot is a pioneer.

In 2002, David Crockett High School welcomed a new principal, Henry Marable. When the school first opened, Marable taught and worked as a coach. Since then he has worked as the principal at area schools such as Jonesborough Middle School and Science Hill High School.

David Crockett boasts an Advanced Placement program offering classes in language and composition, literature, United States history, government and economics, probability and statistics, and calculus.

Each year David Crockett plays Daniel Boone in football. This game is known as the "Musket Bowl." Whichever team wins the game also wins the musket. If that team wins three years in a row, they are able to keep the musket, and a new one is purchased for the next season's game. The David Crockett Pioneers currently have one musket, and the Daniel Boone Trailblazers have two.
