Etowah High School was a public high school in Etowah, Tennessee. It was a part of McMinn County Schools.
It was built in 1925 and had two stories. [1]
Circa 1951, when Kenneth Barker began his term as a principal, there were 320 students. [1]
There were 416 students enrolled during the 1955–1956 school year. [2]
By 1958, enrollment was up to 448. That year, several students walked out of the building in protest of what they described as the "deplorable" and "crowded" conditions of the building. [1] This walkout lasted for at least four days. [3]
The school consolidated into McMinn Central High School in 1966. [4] The McMinn County School District set up an auction for the Etowah High land, with the Etowah city government being one of the bidders. [5]
