Gibbs High School is a public high school located in Corryton, Tennessee, United States.

The school was founded in 1913 in a two-story brick building built on 12 acres; it burned down in 1937. The second building burned down 13 years later in 1950. The third and current school is near the intersection of Tazewell Pike and East Emory Road. [citation needed]

When the new Gibbs Elementary School opened across Tazewell Pike in 2007, the high school began using the old elementary school building as an on-site career and technical education facility.

Gibbs' principal is Jason Webster.[3]
