Haywood High School is a United States public high school located in Brownsville, Tennessee. It is the sole public high school in Haywood County.

Contents

The building currently used by the high school was opened in 1970.

In the early 1990s, it was noted in news reports that the school had a racially motivated selection system for homecoming queen, requiring alternating winners who were white, then black. (Haywood County is the only county in Tennessee with a Black majority.)

Anti-gay controversy

In March 2012, principal Dorothy Bond received scrutiny for reportedly telling gay students that they would go hell, threatening them with 60-day suspensions for public displays of affection, and other verbal attacks on gay and pregnant students. As a result of the attention that this remark engendered, Bond resigned on March 1, 2012.
