Butler Traditional High School is a high school in Louisville, Kentucky, United States.
History
[edit | edit source]Suda E. Butler High School opened in 1954. It was chosen in 1988 as the second high school in Jefferson County to offer the Traditional Program. In this program the standards of patriotism, morality, and personal integrity are stressed in a structured learning environment. The school has a strict dress code, discipline code, heterogeneous grouping, technology major, and college preparatory curriculum. It is the only school in JCPS to obtain and/or exceed its goal for CATS testing every year during the existence of the yearly examinations. They recently, in the 2009–2010 school year, added the Freshman Academy to their school. Within the next two or three years they plan on changing from the traditional semester to trimester schedule.
In 2009 it was a Host School for Superintendent Sheldon Burman's Superintendent's Student Advisory Council to discuss how JCPS can better prepare high schoolers for life after high school.
Butler Traditional won the Top School Award (WLKY's High School Cribs) in Kentuckiana from WLKY News 32 in 2007. It was also featured on WLKY High School Cribs again in 2009.
