Beech High School

We are excited to welcome Coach Colby Rainey into his new role as Head Coach of Beech Buccaneers Baseball!

Coach Rainey graduated from Trevecca Nazarene University in 2004 where he played under Jeff Forehand from 2000-2004.

After graduating from Trevecca, he pursued a career with the Nashville Metro Fire Department where he is currently employed as an EMT.

He coached various travel teams and middle school teams before joining BHS Staff in 2023.

Serving as an Assistant coach for Beech High School since 2023, he has helped to lead our program to 4 District championships. 3 region titles, 3 sectional appearances, 1 sectional title, and 1 state tournament, and has played a role in 14 college signees.

We are excited to have Coach Rainey and look forward to his leadership impacting our program on and off the field for many years to come!

We are so lucky to have Mrs. Ridgill’s talent at BHS and excited for her work to be appreciated by so many through this project!

We’re excited to officially unveil the 2026 official Tomato Art Fest artwork created by Nashville artist and educator Janet Fox Ridgill 🍅🎨

Inspired by creativity, mid-century design and eclectic European treasures, Janet’s style perfectly captures the spirit of this year’s festival. We think this artwork is kind of a big dill.

Ready to be part of a school culture that values excellence, innovation, and community? We’d love to meet you. We are looking for educators who want to grow, lead, and help make an already great school even better.

The best students deserve the best teachers — and we believe you can find both here.

Apply today and join something special at Beech High School.

After a wonderful graduation weekend, we are looking forward to wrapping up the school year for the rest of our students. We've got 9th-11th grade exams on Monday and Tuesday starting at 8:00. There are also tryouts for many of our athletic teams happening this week so be sure to check those out.

Let's make it a great last week!

It's our favorite week of the whole year - Graduation Week!! We spent today practicing for tomorrow and celebrating our seniors one last time as they said their goodbyes at BHS and many of our feeder schools.

Tomorrow is going to be a GREAT day and we can't wait for the Class of 2026 to be together one more time before they officially become BHS Alumni. Doors will open for guests with tickets at 5:00pm and the ceremony can be streamed live at https://longhollow.com/live-event-stream for those viewing from other places.

The school year is coming to an end but there is still a lot going on at BHS. Beech Soccer and Beech Buccaneers Baseball are still moving forward in their post-season playoffs so be sure to stay tuned for updates on games that will happen this week and come out to cheer these student athletes on!!

From an incredible prom weekend to district championship wins for both Baseball and Soccer as they continue their postseasons, there has been so much to celebrate.

We also enjoyed a fun Teacher Appreciation Week filled with treats, giveaways, and “Dress Like a Student” day, while students continued learning through field trips and real-world experiences. Huge congratulations to our BHS FFA program for having a Regional Officer elected, and to one of our students who interviewed and was offered a job that begins right after graduation!

So proud of our students, staff, and community. It's great to be a Buccaneer!

As a part of teacher appreciation week, RaceTrac donated a $50 gas card to be given away at BHS. Ms. Shaff was drawn as the winner of the prize at BHS.

We asked her students "Why do you think Ms. Shaff deserves to win this prize?" and they each wrote her a letter, telling her why they appreciate her. As you can see, she's definitely loved by her students! We are thankful for Ms. Shaff and all of our teachers who go above and beyond every day for their students!
