Soddy-Daisy High School is located in Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee. It is located at 618 Sequoyah Access Road where it has been since 1983. Originally the towns of Soddy and Daisy each had their own high schools. In 1937 a comprehensive school was built between the two towns on Old Dayton Pike and the names of the towns were combined to name the school. A round gymnasium was built many years after the old school and still stands on the original site. It serves as a wrestling arena for the present school. A memorial built from the bricks of the old school is located on the current high school grounds.
The Mascot of Soddy Daisy High School is a "Trojan" selected by the senior class of 1940 over the "Rams" .
