History
The current Bolton High School campus exists on the former Hoboken Plantation owned by Wade H. Bolton. Upon his death in 1869, the prominent land owner set aside for the founding of an agricultural college. Bolton operated as an agricultural college and teacher's preparatory school from 1887 to 1911, whereupon it became part of the Shelby County School system. By 1925, Bolton had been designated as a secondary school and has remained a part of the Shelby County school system ever since. In 2003, the largest freshman class in Bolton's history enrolled. With approximately 700 students, this class hastened the opening of Arlington High School . The seniors of the Class of 2007 graduated in May with over 600 in the class. Today, BHS is a real beacon in the community serving over 2,000 students from Bartlett, Arlington, Lakeland, and unincorporated parts of Memphis.
