Sullivan North High School

Sullivan North High School was a public high school (grades 9–12) located in Kingsport, Tennessee under the authority of Sullivan County Schools. Opened in 1980, the school had a student body of approximately 1500 students. However due to declining enrollment due largely from annexation efforts of the city of Kingsport, it was reduced to around 600 students when it was incorporated into West Ridge High School in 2021.[2] Sullivan North's former facilities were then used to form John Sevier Middle School.[3]
