It was founded in 1916, and is part of the Bradley County Schools system. The school maintains a crosstown rivalry with Cleveland High School, as well as fellow county rival Walker Valley High School.


      History


      The school opened its doors on September 11, 1916, and was the second public high school in the county, after Charleston High School in Charleston, which opened in 1913. The original campus was located on the present site of Ocoee Middle School, and was called Central High School at first. It was renamed Bradley County High School in 1920 and Bradley Central High School in 1948. The school was moved to its current location on South Lee Highway (U.S. 11/64) in 1972. The Jim Smiddy Arena opened Jan. 6, 1973.
      In 2011, the school opened a newly-constructed 25,000 square-foot Fine Arts Center. The $3.3 million project was finished within twelve months and includes 600 seats.
