DuPont High School was organized in Old Hickory in 1926 as a two-year high school with three teachers and sixty-three pupils, and was housed in the DuPont Grammar School building. A third year was added in 1927 and a senior year in 1928. The first graduating class was the class of 1929. In 1930, a new high school building located at 2001 Hadley Avenue (now Old Hickory Blvd.) was constructed. In November 1967, the high school building was completely destroyed by fire. In the fall of 1969 a Senior High School, retaining the DuPont High name, was completed on Tyler Drive in Hermitage. Today, the Tyler school is a Middle School and the DuPont-Hadley Middle School is located at the original Hadley Avenue location.
