History

Cordova High School was constructed in 1996 and completed in 1997 as a joint venture between two districts known for Memphis City Schools and Shelby County Schools, as the school's operating systems. The school opened during the 1997-1998 school year to a class of freshmen as a school operated by the Shelby County Schools. The freshmen of the 1997-98 school year voted the school's colors to be green and black, and the school's mascot to be the wolf. Every following year the school added a new class until 2001, when the first graduating class left Cordova High School.

The 2003-04 school year ended with Cordova High School leaving the Shelby County Schools district and joining the Memphis City Schools district. Cordova adopted a school uniform policy in Fall 2004, since the entire Memphis City Schools district adopted a uniform policy. All schools were required to adopt one at the time. A student petition created at the end of the 2014-2015 school year caught Principal Chandler's attention, bringing an end to the uniform policy after a vote by the parents.[ citation needed ]The uniform policy was replaced by a dress code.
