Fred J. Page High School

Page revolutionized the teacher certification process and introduced the idea of uniform textbooks to replace teacher-made materials, additionally consolidating hundreds of tiny schoolhouses into larger, centralized institutions.

Built in the unincorporated town of Rudderville and serving grades 7-12, the school was posthumously named for Frederick Page 31 years after his death.

Built to serve the eastern section of Williamson County with a capacity of 1000 students, Page High School's initial enrollment was around 850.

[10] In 1985, several scenes of the critically acclaimed movie At Close Range were filmed on location at the entrance of Fred J.

The movie was released in 1986 boasting an all-star cast including Sean Penn and Christopher Walken and Page High students were used as extras.

Until 2004, the Page High School zone included the towns of Thompson's Station and the northern half of Spring Hill.

However, throughout that decade the area became the fastest growing population in the United States[11] swelling to over 276% growth.

[12] The initial population explosion was attributed to the opening of the Saturn Corporation automobile plant in Spring Hill.

At one point 20% of the students at Page High School were Michigan natives, most of whom were families relocated from the Midwest by Saturn's parent company General Motors.

[15] The proposed multi-phase plan was released in February 2017 and would add classrooms, expand common areas like the cafeteria and media center, improve athletic facilities, and create additional parking.

[27] An independent study ranked the AP Calculus program the strongest in the state of Tennessee among zoned public schools.
