Chartered in 1806, Porter Academy opened in 1808 and occupied two Maryville sites from 1808 to the Civil War. It reopened at Wildwood in 1872 on a five acre tract donated by Thomas J. Pritchett and his wife Mary. The academy's land and buildings were deeded to Blount County in 1918 for Porter High School.
