Gallatin High School (GHS) is one of two public high schools in Gallatin, Tennessee, the other being Station Camp High School. The school is located at 700 Dan P. Herron Drive in Gallatin and the current principal is Ron Becker.

History

Gallatin High School first opened as Trousdale-Allen school on September 7, 1914. The school changed its name to Central High School in 1915. In 1932, a new building was opened as Gallatin High School and used until the current building opened in 1974.

Gallatin High School has a storied rivalry with Hendersonville High School. It has lasted since Hendersonville was opened.

The zebra swallowtail butterfly was chosen as the state butterfly of Tennessee by students in Sherrill Charlton's biology class at the school and was made official in 1994.[2][3]

On January 8, 2016, the school's gym was dedicated as Jerry Vradenburg Gymnasium. Vradenburg served as a teacher, a coach of multiple sports, and as the school's long-time athletics director from 1966-1993. He was coach of the school's 1973 boys' basketball state championship team. Vradenburg also coached the 1970 team vs. Union High School in a game that is the subject of the book "More Than Rivals".

In October 2016, Gallatin High School announced the inaugural class of the Gallatin Athletics Hall of Fame. The Hall was created to recognize outstanding athletes, coaches, and contributors to the athletics programs of both Gallatin and Union High Schools.

Two new events were celebrated during the 2017-18 school year:

On August 25, 2017, the football programs for Gallatin and Station Camp played in the inaugural Mayor's Cup of Gallatin. The winning team each year will be presented the Mayor's Cup by the Mayor of Gallatin.

On February 6, 2018, the basketball teams for Gallatin wore uniforms celebrating and honoring Union High School.

As of January 2019, three GHS alumni serve in the Tennessee State Senate.
