Chattanooga Central High School
Chattanooga Central High School is a public high school in Harrison, Tennessee, operated by the Hamilton County Board of Education.
Central High School opened in September 1907 on Dodds Avenue in Chattanooga. It was one of Chattanooga's first public high schools. Its students came from all over the Hamilton County area and the school was highly acclaimed. In 1969, the high school was relocated to Highway 58 in Harrison.
The school athletics teams originally went by the name Purple Warriors as the school colors are purple and gold. During an exceptionally good year in the 1930s a local sportswriter began to opine that they often "pounded" their opponents; the name stuck. The "Purple Pounders" is the current name, often illustrated with a hammer and anvil.
Since summer 2008, Finley King has been the school's 11th principal. He is the second former student to serve as principal.
