History
Fairview High School opened in 1956 as West High School, serving students who lived in the western half of Williamson County.[6] Initially serving grades 7 through 12, its first graduating class consisted of twenty students.[7] In 1962, the name of the school was changed to Fairview High School. The school moved to a new building at its current location in 1982. Since then, the school has undergone several classroom additions and other renovations to increase capacity and improve athletic facilities.[2] A 500-seat performing arts center, including restrooms, a new lobby, and two additional classrooms, opened in February 2017.[8] The auditorium was built as part of a multi-phase project that called for building auditoriums at all Williamson County middle and high schools.[9][10]
