History

In 2013, Rhea County High School celebrated their 40th year since the school was established and Spring City and Rhea Central were brought together to form what is now well known as Rhea County High School. Also in 2013, following the 40th year celebration of the school, was the building of a new addition that spanned to cover 320,000 square feet. When this switch occurred, the middle school of Rhea County moved into the old high school so that they could have a larger space as well. With the building of the new wing came an addition to the athletic/physical health department by the addition of 3 new gyms, a brand new turf football/soccer field, and a track outlying the layout of the regulation size field[3]
