Tyner Middle Academy is a middle-school (grades 6-8) located at 6837 Tyner Road in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The school's building has been used for over 100 years and was originally erected in 1907 as Tyner High School (now known as Tyner Academy). This was the first secondary school to open in Hamilton County, Tennessee, east of Missionary Ridge, and running water and electricity were not provided to the school until the 1920s. Tyner High School relocated directly across the street into a new building during 1937. Tyner Middle Academy would subsequently open to students in 1959 in the original school building.
