boski Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Approved Membership Request for Republic High School effective with the 2015-2016 school year. Republic School is located in Nashville. It is licensed through the Tennessee Department of Education as a Category 2 approved charter with Metro Nashville Public Schools. For the 2015-2016 school year they will offer the 9thgrade and will add a grade each year. Their estimated enrollment for the 2015-2016 school year is 150 students. If approved, Republic High School will be classified in District 10, Class A-AA in soccer; District 11, Region 5 in bowling; the Middle TN section in track and field; Region 3, Class A-AA in individual wrestling; Region 8, Class A-AA in dual wrestling; and in Class A, District 10, Region 5 for all other sports. In football, they will be DI, 1A, Region 5 but cannot participate in the football playoffs during the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 school years. This is due to the fact that region schedules for the next two years have been completed and the school will have to play an independent schedule. With Hunters Lane, Whites Creek and Maplewood splitting player pools already ..this will be interesting change for the area.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAmbassador Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I have a question about Republic High School? Won't they be moved up to 2A after two years in 1A? Their numbers will be high 2A numbers by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAmbassador Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I would think they would be competing in 1A for 2017 and 2018 seasons, but then will be placed in a 2A region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBob27 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) With the right coach could they be competitive next year? Boski, have you heard anything on who they played this past year and how they did? Edited December 9, 2016 by JimBob27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boski Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 This being their first year ..they would only have had a freshman team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boski Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I'm really not sure if they had football team this year ..they have played teams like KIPPNC in JV and Varsity basketball and Lipscomb Academy girls in other sports. I cant think of many feeder schools in the area besides Brick Church Middle / Brick Church Academy to predict how good they could be.. im sure there are more i just cant think of any at the moment ..

workinprogress Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Lots of questions about this job. Where will they practice, where will they play home games, how much funding is there for a hc and assistants, how long will they be around.
