Completed in the fall of 2020, Green Hill High School is the largest public project in Wilson County history, with a budget of 107 million.

As a result of the deadly March 2020 tornado, 1,700 students and 150 staff members were displaced from destroyed schools.

[9][10] Wilson County Schools issued a tornado recovery plan to address the property destruction and displaced students.

[11][12] Due to these extra students, Green Hill High School opened slightly above capacity, with about 2,050 7th–12th graders in the building during its first year.

[13][14] GHHS reverted to completely remote learning multiple times due to unsafe COVID-19 infection rates in the community.

[21] In the time since the school's opening, teams from many sports have won regional and district titles and championships.
