Anderson County High School, home of the Mavericks, is one of two high schools in the Anderson County School System.  We are located just off I-75 at exit 122 or the Norris/Clinton exit.  Enrollment for the 2008-2009 school year was 1135.  Our school is currently in "Good Standing" under the provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act.  Our latest test scores and our goals for school improvement can be found at the SIP link found at the bottom of our homepage.

Anderson County High is staffed by caring, dedicated teachers who are committed to continuous improvement through self-reflection, collaboration and use of the latest research in teaching.  We are members of the Southern Regional Educational Board's "High Schools that Work" and have implemented many of the outstanding programs recommended by that organization for school improvement. We are an accredited school having met the requirements established by the AdvancED Accreditation Commission and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement.

The Guidance staff at ACHS does a wonderful job assisting students with the transition from middle to high school, planning class schedules, making career and college decisions and securing college scholarships.  The class of 2009 was awarded an estimated two millions dollars in potential college scholarships.

In partnership with the Anderson County Career and Technical Center, we offer an extensive number of classes designed to prepare our students for the next level of their careers, whether it be to a four year university, community college, technical school or into the workplace.  Classes and descriptions can be found at the Department link at the top of this webpage.

We offer many extracurricular activities designed to give our students a well rounded education. Our award winning band program, drama club, dance team and choral music classes all put on outstanding performances. Students have the opportunity to participate in several different service oriented clubs such as the Leo Club or the National Honor Society.  Our Naval Junior ROTC program has consistently been recognized nationally as a "Distinguished Unit" having received that award in each year of its existence at Anderson County High.

 Students who attend our school have the opportunity to participate in a very competitive athletics program, which boasts state champions in Volleyball and Girls' Track.  Our football, baseball, basketball and boys' track teams all have made appearances at the state tournament level.  We have athletic facilities that are second to none in east Tennessee.

Anderson County High School welcomes the participation of parents, businesses and the community in our efforts to provide for our students the best possible education.  It is only through the combined efforts of all of our stakeholders that we will continue to improve.
