teachers still employed. As of 2016-17, Jimmy Baker is the only active teacher from the original faculty. The original school building included 34 classrooms, but an expansion in the 1990s increased that number to current total of 54 classrooms with an expanded capacity for 1215 students. In 1981, Fred J. Page Middle School opened across the street at which point the original Fred J. Page became a high school exclusively serving grades 9-12. In 1985, several scenes of the critically acclaimed movie At Close Range were filmed on location at the entrance of Fred J. Page High School. The movie was released in 1986 boasting an all-star cast including Sean Penn and Christopher Walken and Page High students were used as extras. Until 2004, the Page High School zone included the towns of Thompson's Station and the northern half of Spring Hill. However, throughout that decade the area became the fastest growing population in the United States swelling to over 276% growth. The initial population explosion was attributed to the opening of the Saturn Corporation automobile plant in Spring Hill. At one point 20% of the students at Page High School were Michigan natives, most of whom were families relocated from the Midwest by Saturn's parent company General Motors. Following the construction of Independence High School and most recently Summit High School, Page no longer serves the Thompson's Station and Spring Hill areas of the county. Page High School has the smallest capacity of all nine traditional high schools in Williamson County. In 2016, the district began planning for campus improvements at Page middle and high schools. The proposed multi-phase plan was released in February 2017 and would add classrooms, expand common areas like the cafeteria and media center, improve athletic facilities, and create additional parking. The first phase of this plan was approved at a county commission meeting in October 2017.
