I n 1948
Bourbon County Vocational High School opened on the site of the
present middle school facility. It was renamed Bourbon County High
School in 1956, and completed consolidation with the last of the
original six high schools in the county in 1964, to become the
sole high school of the county school district. After the
addition of a junior high school building in 1968 and extensive
additions and renovations, the high school and junior high
switched buildings in 1981 to locate BCHS at its present site. The
Standard High School Diploma, as well as the more prestigious
Commonwealth Diploma, are offered through a curriculum geared to
both career oriented and college bound students.
