Soddy Daisy High School
Public high school in Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee, United States
Blue and Gold
Soddy Daisy High School is a public high school located in Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee that is part of the Hamilton County Schools district. Originally, the towns of Soddy and Daisy each had its own high schools. In 1937, a comprehensive school was built between the two towns on Old Dayton Pike and the names of the towns were combined to name the school.[2] The current building, at 618 Sequoyah Access Road, was opened in 1983.[3] A round gymnasium was built many years after the old school and still stands on the original site. It serves as a wrestling arena for the present school. A memorial built from the bricks of the old school is located on the current high school grounds.
In 2010 the school was the subject of a complaint from the Freedom From Religion Foundation about the school's practice of Christian school prayers at football games and other public events.[4][5]
The mascot of Soddy Daisy High School is a "Trojan" selected by the senior class of 1940 over the "Rams".[2]
