The old Antioch High School located at 5050 Blue Hole Road in Antioch, Tn has a long and proud history dating back to 1932. The Board of Education purchased a suitable tract of land in the southern section of Davidson County. A brick building was erected, and a four-year high school was formally opened in the fall of 1933. The first graduating class had twenty-four students and a faculty of seven.
The community Antioch Tennessee takes its name from Antioch First Baptist Church, established in 1810. As recently as the 1960s Antioch was a small community catering to the needs of area farmers with amenities such as a feed mill. Adjacent to Bakertown (a similar small community) it was located on the banks of Mill Creek, a minor tributary of the Cumberland River that rises near Nolensville, several miles to the southeast. In the 1970s Antioch experienced explosive growth, largely due to the expansion of the Nashville sewer system to the area and the availability of large amounts of former farmland, which made possible the construction of many low-rise apartment complexes, and several mobile home communities.The area continues to experience some of the highest growth rates in Nashville-Davidson County
After many years of overcrowding, a larger facility (95 classrooms) was built to replace the old High School and in the fall of 1997 the high school moved to its current location just off of Hobson Pike. The new facility opened its doors to a student community of 1,857 and 90 teachers.
