Boone County High School is located in Florence, Kentucky, United States. The school was opened in 1954, consolidating Burlington, Florence, New Haven and Hebron High Schools. Originally, the school did not have a mascot, but after polling the first class, the students adopts the name "Rebels", taken from the 1955 film Rebel Without A Cause.[2]

In 2017, BCHS began the process of making the origin of their mascot clearer by updating its logo and distancing itself from any presumed association with the confederacy.

Sports

Boone County High School is known for its athletics. Both men's and women's basketball have been among the strongest programs in the region. Baseball has also been quite strong as they won the 33rd district tournament and the 9th region tournament in 2010. The men's team once placed fourth out of five teams in a winter classic invitational tournament held in Cheyenne, Montana.

Boone County is known for its football tradition as well. In 2008 the Rebels went all the way to the semi-finals, in 2009 they went to the third round of the playoffs, and in 2010 that team made it all the way to the semi-finals.
