History

Southeast Whitfield County Comprehensive High School (SHS) was established in 1975 with students merging from arch rivals Valley Point and Eastbrook High Schools. However, the new building was not completed in time for the new school year. In 1975-76, students attended class at the former Eastbrook property, while vocational students were transported 10.5 miles to Northwest Whitfield High, which later transformed to North Whitfield Middle on Cleveland Highway. SHS' modern facility was completed in time for the 1976-77 school year (former county high schools became middle schools for grades 6-8). Since then, SHS has expanded to become one of the three major government high schools in the Dalton area, along with Northwest Whitfield High School and Phoenix High School.
