The school was founded in 1887. In 1903 the school created a football team with the mascot "The Cedartown Bulldogs." By the 1930s the school was rebuilt in a new location in order to serve the growing teenage population of the town. Vocational or "elective" classes were added in the 1930s and a school band in 1941. In 1970 the school was rebuilt in another location in the town.
Cedartown High School enrolls around 1200 students per year, They still go by the bulldog as a mascot, which they interpret to symbolize strength and endurance. The school colors are red and black.
"In the hearts of Cedartown Students
Love shall never lack,
Nor our loyal admiration,
For the red and black.
May the black of our dear colors,
Stand for serious aims,
While the crimson mingled with it,
Courage strong proclaims
To your lofty pure ideals,
We shall always cling,
And our heart's sincere devotion,
We shall always bring
Hail to thee our Alma Mater,
Let us pledge anew,
Faithful, loyal, willing service,
Cedartown, to you"
In past ten years The Bulldogs have gone to Regional Championships for football three times and to State Championship once. The band won Grand Champion at the Osborne Marching Competition in 2004. Cedartown has an FBLA team, DECA team, and Academic Bowls Team. In 2008, a 17-year-old in the Welding Skills club won in a state competition and went to Nationals. On October 15, 2009, Cedartown High won the Governor's Cup.
