With [[Scott County, Kentucky|Scott County]] being the fastest-growing in the state during the last half of the 2010s, and with more than 3,000 high school students expected by the 2020–21 school year, the county school district began construction on the new [[Great Crossing High School]] next to the ECS campus in 2017.

Scott County High School is a public high school in Georgetown, Kentucky, United States. The mascot is a Cardinal. School colors are Red and Blue, with white and black occasionally serving as secondary colors. In the 2018–19 school year, its last as the county's only public high school, the combined institution had an enrollment of 2,486, making it the largest high school in the state,[5][6] before rival school Great Crossing High School opened across town just in time for the 2019–2020 school year. The 9th Grade Center, a section of the building where all of the 9th grade classes were located, along with a separate library, cafeteria, and gym, was replaced by the new "Phoenix Horizon" (formerly called Cardinal Academy when the section of the school was the 9th Grade Center) a program where kids who were struggling in normal classes, or having behavior issues could go and learn without the distractions of a normal classroom.[citation needed]

History

[edit]

With Scott County being the fastest-growing in the state during the last half of the 2010s, and with more than 3,000 high school students expected by the 2020–21 school year, the county school district began construction on the new Great Crossing High School next to the ECS campus in 2017. The new school opened for the 2019–20 school year with space for over 1,900 students.[7] Initially, rising juniors and seniors for 2019–20, plus any of their siblings who were set to attend a Scott County high school in that school year, would have been allowed to remain at Scott County High if they wished.[8][b] The district later changed its plans, allowing all students who were set to attend a district high school to choose their school; about 55% chose to attend Great Crossing.[3] Before the plans of opening a new high school, Scott County was going to be renovated to repair parts of the school, and extend it to occupy more students. However, these plans were scrapped and instead a new high school was built.[9]

Footnotes

[edit]
  1. ^ While the Scott County district has three middle schools, only two now feed students to Scott County High. From 2019–20 forward, Scott County Schools determines districting for its middle and high schools by elementary school attendance zones. All three elementary schools that feed Royal Spring Middle School, plus one of the three elementary schools that feed Scott County Middle School, will feed students to Scott County High. Georgetown Middle School will exclusively feed the new Great Crossing High School.[1]
  2. ^ The breakdown of Scott County High's 2018–19 enrollment by grade lends credence to predictions of over 3,000 total high school students in 2020–21. The sophomore and freshman classes—the vast majority of which would presumably remain enrolled in the Scott County district in 2020–21—respectively had 616 and 746 students.[6]
