Soddy Daisy High School

Soddy-Daisy High School is located in Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee. It is located at 618 Sequoyah Access Road where it has been since 1983. Originally the towns of Soddy and Daisy each had their own high schools. In 1937 a comprehensive school was built between the two towns on Old Dayton Pike and the names of the towns were combined to name the school. A round gymnasium was built many years after the old school and still stands on the original site. It serves as a wrestling arena for the present school. A memorial built from the bricks of the old school is located on the current high school grounds.

The Mascot of Soddy Daisy High School is a "Trojan" selected by the senior class of 1940 over the "Rams" .

Soddy Daisy High School is also the home of the award-winning Soddy Daisy High School Marching Band. The band competed in the 2007 USSBA Grand National Championships in Baltimore, MD, and took 4th place over all. Currently, they are fourth in the state of Tennessee in USSBA competition. The Soddy Dasiy High School Marching Band has a new conductor, Mr.Majors.

Soddy-Daisy hosts the SDHS football program, which has struggled over the past few years. With an overall losing record in the past three seasons, Soddy-Daisy seems to be rebuilding. New head coach E.K Slaughter, former Red Bank High School offensive coordinator, brings change to the Trojan offense. Once a run-first mentality offense, Slaughter will be implementing a new offense at Soddy Daisy, that he used at Red Bank last year, in which the Lions averaged 38 points a game. Soddy Daisy fans believe they have a bright future ahead with new coach E.K Slaughter.

Soddy Daisy High School is also the home of a state-renowned wrestling team.
