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.

The men's team once placed fourth out of five teams in a winter classic invitational tournament held in Cheyenne, Montana.
