Tony Ogle - Principal

​

Thank you for your interest in Gatlinburg-Pittman High School.  G-P has a rich and storied history that stretches 55 years into the past and unites several mountain communities here--just east of Gatlinburg.  We aspire to academic and athletic excellence, and our track record of success speaks volumes about this committemtn. Our parents envision a school that links all of its students together in a grand tradition of excellence that reaches backward across generations of Highlanders and forward into the future to tie all of us together.  We are a family that has no limits, no expiration date, no qualifications, no required affiliations. Not everyone who comes to G-P chooses to participate in our family, but it is there for the taking for those who want it. Parents today send their sons and daughters to G-P so that they, too, can be a part of something special.

​

Sincerely,

​

Tony Ogle
