Glencliff Comprehensive High School is a public school in Nashville, Tennessee. It was built in 1956 and added onto in 1977.

According to the 1963 Roundup (Glencliff High School yearbook), the area in which Glencliff High School is located was until recent years fertile farmland lying on the outskirts of Nashville. This section remained largely unpopulated until the late 1950s, at which time industrial expansion and metropolitan growth led to extensive residential development, which yet continues to characterize this area. Dominated by such industrial and commercial establishments as AVCO, Aladdin Industries, and the Municipal Airport, the area inevitably grew, attracting secondary businesses, churches, schools, and finally a high school.

Glencliff High School takes its name from the Glencliff Estate. The site of the school is a part of the original property of one of Nashville’s oldest families, W. A. Woodroof. The Glencliff Mansion, which is still standing on what is the Mill Creek Valley Road (old name) or Antioch Pike (new name), was the home of that family. The house predates the Civil War, and within the vicinity of it General Buell amassed his forces during the Battle of Nashville.

Glencliff High School for the first time in 1957 opened its doors to receive 350 seventh and eighth graders and 13 faculty members. Five years later, the spring of 1962, the first senior class composed of 125 members was graduated. Glencliff is now in its 8th year, with a student body of 1,763 students and 65 faculty members. These have been seven years of progress, growth and development. But only the roots of Glencliff lie buried in the past; the future will witness perennially blossoming truth, knowledge, and wisdom.

Mr. B. H. Thompson, principal of Glencliff, has deep roots in Davidson County having coached for 21 years prior to becoming principal. His education background includes a Master of Science and Bachelor of Science from Middle Tennessee State College.
