Walker Valley High School

Charleston High School was the first public high school in Bradley County. Located in Charleston, it opened its doors on September 18, 1913, and was expanded to include grades 1 through 8 in 1926. These later became known as Charleston Junior High School and Charleston Elementary School, and the entire school was called Charleston School. After Walker Valley opened, Charleston Junior High School was merged with Bradley Junior High School in Cleveland in 2001, and that same year, the name was changed to Ocoee Middle School. Charleston Elementary School still exists at the location. ==Athletics==
