Elizabethton High School (EHS) is a public high school in Elizabethton, Tennessee. The school is on a 32-acre campus. It had 860 students in 2026.[1] The former school building, which was built in 1947, became T.A. Dugger Jr. High School when EHS's campus moved to its current site in January of 1974.[2]
Elizabethton High School was founded in 1908 as a combined elementary and high school. It became a High School in 1925 after a bond allowed the city to separate the elementary and high school.[3]
In 1939, a new building for Elizabethton High School was constructed. Today, the building remains as T.A. Dugger Jr. High School.[4]
In 1999, the school made national headlines after students created a nativity scene with cat cadavers for a decorating contest. After three days, a group of students took down the display. They were suspended afterwards.[5][6]
Demographics
The student body is 90 percent white.[7]
