Springfield High School is located in Springfield, Tennessee. The mascot of the school is the Yellow Jacket.

Campus

Prior to 1925, the school was located on Main Street on the property where now resides "The Center", the recreational center in Springfield. In 1925, the school moved to the former campus of Peoples-Tucker School, which had closed its doors. The school remained on that campus until 1982 when it was moved to Highway 76 East at its present location.

Organization

Springfield High School consists of three main constructions: the main building, the vocational building, and the workout room. In addition, there are several portables located behind the school.

The main building is divided into four separate halls (A, B, C, and D).

Renovations

Efforts to expand the school, merging the main and vocational buildings, began in early 2007. Among the additions to the school were a multi-story extension of B-Hall, a new Lecture Hall, a new gymnasium, and new offices. Construction finished in 2009.

Sports

The football team began in 1911. The school's football stadium, opened in 1939, is named for coach W. Boyce Smith, who coached from 1928-1971 and compiled a record of 288-166-34 (a winning percentage of 69.6%).[1]

The 1993 Yellow Jacket football team won the TSSAA state championship in Class 3A, defeating McMinn Central 28-6 at Vanderbilt Stadium, to finish with a record of 13-2.
