History
editCosby High School was named for its proximity to Cosby Road. Once a major road through the county, it is now only about a mile long, running parallel to the more heavily-trafficked Hull Street Road (US 360). The road's namesake, Wilson Dance Cosby, was a local resident who worked thirty-five years as a county school bus driver.[2] The school includes a health sciences center.[3] In 2015, Cosby was named a National Blue Ribbon School.[4]
