Lebanon High School is a Grade 9–12 high school located in Lebanon, Tennessee founded in 1918 that is part of Wilson County Schools (WCS).[3]
History
Lebanon High School was founded in 1918 by Wilson County Schools, with its current building being constructed in 2012. The school's mascot is the Blue Devil, adopted due to a visiting group of French soldiers called the "Blue Devils" who promoted Liberty Bonds in 1918 to aid in World War I.[4] Another school in Lebanon, Walter J. Baird Middle School uses the Blue Devil mascot despite being part of the Lebanon Special School District (LSSD), separate from WCS.[5] The school's A/V broadcasting class runs a school news channel on YouTube, "Blue Devil News", with ~1,700 subscribers.
