Green Hill High School

After years of discussion and debate, ground was broken for the new school on August 29, 2018. GHHS was built to ease the overflowing student population at nearby Mt. Juliet High School. Tornado recovery As a result of the deadly March 2020 tornado, 1,700 students and 150 staff members were displaced from destroyed schools. Wilson County Schools issued a tornado recovery plan to address the property destruction and displaced students. Green Hill High School, along with Mt. Juliet High School, was converted into a grade 7-12 school to temporarily house displaced students. Due to these extra students, Green Hill High School opened slightly above capacity, with about 2,050 7th–12th graders in the building during its first year. COVID-19 Green Hill High School opened at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. As decided by the Wilson County School's Board of Education and Superintendent, Green Hill High School, as well as other Wilson County Schools, opened in a "hybrid" instruction model. In this learning model, students were separated alphabetically and attended school two days a week. GHHS reverted to completely remote learning multiple times due to unsafe COVID-19 infection rates in the community. Ultimately, in February 2021, Green Hill High School students went back to school in a full-time, traditional instruction model. == Academics ==
