Hunters Lane High School

Story

Hunters Lane High School is a public school in Nashville, Tennessee, operated by Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools. The school is located at 36°16'45.16"N 86°45'8.63"W. The school opened in 1986 and had its first graduating class in 1987. It serves approximately 1700 students. In March 2012, the Metro Board of Education dropped the "Comprehensive" title from all its zoned schools to reflect the district's new emphases on smaller learning communities and thematic career academies. As a zoned high school, the school's population is primarily composed of graduates of Madison, Neely's Bend, and Goodlettsville Middle Schools.InceptionHunters Lane Comprehensive High School opened in 1986 after closing Goodlettsville High School and Madison High School; the school at the time had six feeder schools. Incidentally, the colors for the school's sports teams are orange and royal blue, a combination of the Blue of Goodlettsville High School's Trojans and the Orange of Madison High School's Rams. In its first years, the school played most of its outdoor athletic events at other schools until its playing facilities were complete. Members of school's first graduating class of 347 people wrote the school's current alma mater in AP English Literature and Composition. The 1987 senior class would also vote on the school's nickname and mascot of the "Warrior"; "Wolverine" was the runner-up.
