Beech High School is one of two public high schools in Hendersonville, Tennessee. The school is located in the Shackle Island community on Long Hollow Pike, near the intersection of Shackle Island Road, Long Hollow Pike, and New Hope Road, just to the north of the Hendersonville city limits, and is part of the Sumner County Schools district. The current school officially opened on August 27, 1980, under the direction of Mr. Merroll N. Hyde.[citation needed] In 1986, the first female principal in Sumner County, Mary Clouse, became the principal.[citation needed] Frank Cardwell served as principal from 1999 until 2014, and was succeeded by Kenneth Powell.[citation needed]
The school's mascot is the Buccaneer, which is frequently shortened to "Buc." The school colors are officially white and orange; however, Navy blue is also popular.[citation needed]
