The building was constructed in 1920–1921[3] and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as Wyatt Hall.[1] It was named for Professor Henry D. Wyatt, founder of the public school system in Chattanooga, a teacher and the first Superintendent of Schools.[2]

Its liberal-arts curriculum is patterned on Mortimer Adler's Paideia philosophy. The physical building has been a school in several incarnations, and was once attended by Samuel L. Jackson (as Riverside High School).

It was also known as Chattanooga High School.[2]
