The school serves the majority of Farragut, portions south of Interstate 40.
The original Farragut High School, built in 1904, occupied a strip of land adjacent to Kingston Pike, becoming the first consolidated high school in Knox County. In 1976, the school relocated to its current location on a hill overlooking Farragut on the opposite side of Kingston Pike. A supermarket and strip mall dominate the original site, razed after the construction of the new buildings.
The school bears the name of Civil War hero David Glasgow Farragut, the Union admiral born in the area.
