Soddy Daisy High School is a 9-12 school located in Soddy Daisy, TN, just north of the Chattanooga area.  We are a community school that is supported by local businesses, families, and both former and current students.  We offer a rich choice of programs which includes a wide variety of sports, band, Army ROTC, and many college-level classes in all content areas.  

At SDHS, we offer two Future Ready Institutes that connect our students to the greater Chattanooga community and area businesses -- specifically the Institute of Media and Entrepreneurship and the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Technology Academy.  Working in an atmosphere such as this stimulates teachers to grow as professionals as they collaborate with their peers on how to best help our students.  The culture is rich with growth and benefits all stakeholders. 

Interested in joining our team? We are looking for teachers who are excited to be team players, who will support the mission of our school, and who possess an energetic outlook and always want to improve our school.
