Scott County High School


Scott County High School is a public high school in Georgetown, Kentucky, United States. The mascot is a Cardinal. School colors are Red and White with Blue serving as a secondary color. It consists of two separate schools—Scott County High School proper and Elkhorn Crossing School, a magnet-style "school within a school" that offers specialized STEM and media arts programs. ECS students split their school day between the main Scott County High campus and the separate ECS campus, located about a mile away. 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.
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. 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. 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.
