James Lawson High School
A New High School
A Replacement Facility for Hillwood High School is being designed for the 274-acre site in Bellevue at the former Hope Park Church location. The new school facility will serve a 1,600-student body in five Career Academies. The building will include modern learning environments which are flexible and technology rich. The 3-story building will be situated on the site along with a new sports complex, parking, and bus access areas.
The design concept for this new high school draws inspiration from the history and natural beauty of its locale. Adjacent to the Harpeth River, the site was a historic crossroads of industry and commerce where rail lines and roads carried early settlers west and returned raw materials, including timber and Tennessee limestone, east to Nashville.
