Good turnout for Cane Ridge High dedication
Metro’s newest high school was dedicated Wednesday morning, and will be open to students for the first time when school starts on Aug. 11.
More than 100 people were on hand, including Mayor Karl Dean and Interim Schools Director Chris Henson.
The completion of Cane Ridge High is part of the creation of a new cluster, the Cane Ridge cluster, which students will attend this school year.
The 314,000-square-foot building has capacity for 2,000 students, but will accommodate only grades nine and 10 — a total of 600 students, according to MNPS spokesperson Olivia Brown — this school year.
Construction on parts of the building will continue through this fall.
Cane Ridge High includes a two-story wing designed to accommodate smaller learning communities, including a freshman academy and four career academies. A gymnasium, 600-seat auditorium, outdoor dining patio and arts wing are also part of the facility.

In television news reports on the opening of this school and in the paper, there seems to be no mention of just WHERE the heck Cane Ridge High School is!! Does anyone know? Sometimes the news just assumes all Nashvillians know every corner of town. We ain't as small as we used to be, news people!!!!
The new Cane Ridge High School is located on Old Hickory Blvd, between Murfreesboro Road and I-24. Not far from where Starwood was located.
So is Antioch HS gone? ...or is this a splinter school in the same area?
Antioch HS is definitely not gone. It had the highest enrollment in the state last year. The Antioch community needed another public high school to ease some of the overpopulation that Antioch HS has seen over the past 5+ years.
