CGHS Background

     Cumberland Gap High School sits on 67 scenic acres in western Claiborne County, Tennessee in the foothills of the culturally-rich Appalachian Mountains, located about a mile from beautiful, scenic Highway 63. Enrollment for the 2008-2009 school year averages 652 students with 46 faculty, 15 support staff, a principal, and two assistant principals.
     Our school opened its doors to students in 2003, merging Powell Valley and Forge Ridge High Schools. Both of these schools have a proud heritage of educating students in the area. Graduates represent every profession, and many have gained prominence on the state and national levels.
     Powell Valley High School’s service spans 10 decades beginning in 1914, with the last major renovation of adding the middle vocational school in 1980.
Forge Ridge School began in 1928, with its last renovation project of adding the cafeteria and office in 1988.
