David Crockett High School is a high school located in Jonesborough, Tennessee. It is ranked as the 75th high school in the state of Tennessee.[3] It serves as one of two high schools in the Washington County School System, with it specifically serving the southern part of the county. The other county high school is Daniel Boone High School, which serves the northern part of the county.[4]
The school has an enrollment of 1,181 (2022-2023). In the Advanced Placement (AP) department, nineteen percent of the student body has taken an AP exam at least once, with forty-two percent an exam once passing exam.[3] The school was named after the celebrated 19th-century American folk hero, frontiersman, soldier and politician, David (Davy) Crockett.[5] The name is in contrast to the Daniel Boone High School (Tennessee), which is named after Daniel Boone. This plays into their football rivalry. The school colors are brown (or "buckskin") and old gold.[4] The school's mascot is a Pioneer.[6]
