Baptist Hill Middle High School has undergone many changes over the years in both the physical structure and the academic culture. Built in 1948, Baptist Hill was originally a 9th thought 12th grade traditional high school. Over the years, the building has had several additions and renovations to meet the needs of the student population. In 2009, the school welcomed 6th through 8th graders into the Bobcat Nation, adding Middle School to its name. Today students proudly wear the maroon and gray, representing Baptist Hill in athletics, academics, and technical and service career opportunities. In addition to the state standard core subjects, Bobcats can take classes in earth science, digital art & design, art, band, and basic computer coding. JROTC introduces students to careers in the military, and Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs prepare students for jobs in early childhood, barbering, business, building construction, biomed, and engineering. Students can also earn college credit through dual enrollment classes at Trident Technical College. There are also lots of academic, special interest, and service clubs and activities available including gardening club, Minecraft club, cooking club, Robotics Team, National Honor Society, and DECA. For students of the Bobcat Nation, change is a good thing.

Baptist Hill is a great school to learn from , they make sure you get what you need.The teachers here are very helpful and make sure you stay on top. The principal , she always stays on top and make sure we stay as safe as possible. They take education serious here so if your an athlete they make sure your passing all your classes because your a student-athlete. If you can't stay on top of your education you can not play any sport.
