redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 So consolidation, well further consolidation, is happening in Sullivan County and I started thinking about what consolidation has already taken place in Sullivan and NET in general. As with my thread on consolidation in SWVA I'm looking for what schools went into the current schools and what the colors and mascots of those schools were. I'm really just interested in the counties bordering VA but if you've got info on other counties feel free to add anything.If I'm wrong about anything feel free to correct me.

GC_Quincy 582 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Lynn View and Ketron make up North. You can also add Surgoinsville with Church Hill for Volunteer. Also, South has changed it's colors recently to a light blue/navy blue combo. Personally, I thought the older colors looked better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXSW 557 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 There is talk of consolidation in Carter County, Elizabethton is an independent school system and Unaka, Cloudland, Hampton, and Happy Valley are county schools. The combined Carter Co. system of those four school is around 1500. The Sullivan County consolidation is now rolling along full speed ahead, there is suppose to be a name for the new school released soon. Carter Co and Greene County are the only two school systems in Northeast Tennessee that haven't had some form of consolidation. 6A is going to be a hard place for Sullivan County to live in football. South and Central both are in the crapper and North doesn't offer to much help, it is going to be a long hard slog out od mediocrity in football.

1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Sullivan Pirates were part of what was moved into South I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 One of the Sullivan County schools was the Grizzlies I believe, just not sure which one. What schools are going into the Sullivan Co consolidation? Consolidation in Carter and Greene makes sense, most of their schools are smaller although West and Chuckey-Doak in Greene Co are pretty big(enrollments in the 700s). I wonder what the enrollment of the Greene Co schools was when they were formed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I believe East is the only one not to be affected. South/Central/North would be combined with Kingsport purchasing the North campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXSW 557 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 The Sullivan County High School will be made up of North, South and most of the Central students. East will get about 30% of the Central students and a new high school later. The North agreement was approved by Kingsport BOE last week and is a done deal. The location for the new Sullivan School will be above the Second Harvest Warehouse where Sam's Club used to be. They are trying now to get Connector roads built so that the students don't have to travel I-81. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 What is this "new to me" Grainger High School in NETN? How did that come about and what schools did it swallow up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwhscoachT 162 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Grainger high school is a new version of Rutledge in grainger County. It pulls from joppa, bean station mostly, basically anything down 11e, dixieland delight road. It was built and finished the fall of 2009. Dated a girl from there who was the last group of Rutledge pioneers It is one of two school in Grainger. Washburn being the other. What formed it, I can't remember, but if I was guessing bean station and Rutledge,but Rutledge served as that side of county's hs for many many years. Don't quote me on that, we are talking like 20 30s ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 My cousin and her husband coach and teach at Clinch and love it there. I could have swore their colors were blue and white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Can't believe I forgot about Clinch, I know a girl that worked there for a few years. Clinch uses blue and gold. What exactly is the deal with Morristown and Hamblen? I've heard of Morristown East and Morristown West but I'm seeing Morristown Hamblen East and Morristown Hambken West. Are the school systems merging new or has it been like that awhile? What was the setup before? Unicom was originally Unicoi and Erwin I assume?

trumpet1988 289 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Morristown Hamblen East/West is just the formal name of the school. Correct me if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hamblen is the county Morristown is in, so it is incorporated into the names as they are not city schools I do not believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't remember their colors, but I looked up to see if they still had a middle school in BG, and sure enough, they are the Bulldogs and the colors are orange, black & white.

redtiger 1,740 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Any clue on Church Hills info? GC Quincy, I too liked the powder blue/silver combo. Seems like all schools that use powder blue use Navy too, be original! Some thoughts, Enough with Bears teams being Navy/Orange (Union, Bland, Grainger). Be original people. Also, Indians or some variation(Chiefs, Warriors) were INCREDIBLY popular mascots in this area. Pocahontas, Whitewood, Rural Retreat, Chilhowie, Shawsville, JJ Kelly, Hillsville, and Blacksburg in VA. Powell Valley, Rogersville, Hancock, Mosheim, Happy Valley and Dobbyns Bennett in TN and were not done with TN yet. Who knows how many schools used that mascot. I admit its a awesome mascot but my goodness, wheres the originality? GC_Quincy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
