Sullivan Central High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sullivan Central High School is a 9th through 12th grade high school in Blountville, Tennessee. It has around 900 students annually. The two middle schools that feed into Central are Blountville Middle and Holston Middle The school opened in 1968, and eventually expanded by means of a classroom addition and a vocational building in the mid-1970's. The only construction since that time has been a football fieldhouse, which opened in the fall of 1997.
The school has athletic teams in all traditional varsity sports, including football, basketball, track, cross country, tennis, baseball, softball, and volleyball. Despite its relatively small enrollment, the school fields three football teams each fall; freshman, junior varsity, and varsity, as well as three men's basketball teams in the same divisions. Central maintains intense rivalries with the other three Sullivan County schools, South, North, and East, as well as with the local city schools of Kingsport, Dobyns Bennett and Johnson City Science Hill.
Athletically, the school is dominated by its men's basketball team, which has surpassed 20 wins in each of the past six seasons, including a state tournament berth in 2005. Significantly, the school was forced to move up in classification the following season, but still finished with 24 wins and won the TSSAA's District 1-AAA Tournament Championship.
