Farragut High School is a high school located at 11237 Kingston Pike in Farragut, a suburb of Knoxville, Tennessee. It operated by Knox County Schools, the unified Knox County, Tennessee school district.
The original Farragut High School, the first consolidated high school in Knox County, was built in 1904 across the street from its current location on land currently occupied by a supermarket and strip mall. The school was moved to its current location on a hill overlooking Farragut in 1976.
The school is named for Civil War hero David Glasgow Farragut, the Union Admiral born in the local area, who is best known for declaring "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead." The school prides itself on quality education, offering more advanced placement classes than any other public school in the Knox County School System, and has a diverse set of extracurricular activities ranging from acting to orchestra to cross country to lacrosse and chess.
