The Fort Campbell Army base straddles the Kentucky-Tennessee border. The school is physically located in Tennessee, but is not a member of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association, the state's governing body for interscholastic activities. It is instead a member of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association. Most of the base housing is in Kentucky, the school was originally on the Kentucky side of the base, and it is operated by the Kentucky District of the U.S. Department of Defense Domestic Dependent Elementary and Secondary Schools, along with all other schools on Fort Campbell and the schools on the Fort Knox base situated entirely in Kentucky.
