About the School

In 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.
