It serves around 600 students in Jackson County, KY and McKee, KY in grades 9th through 12th.

History
[edit | edit source]On September 18, 1989, Dustin L. Pierce, a senior at the school, armed himself with a shotgun and two handguns and took a history classroom hostage. The subsequent standoff with police lasted for nine hours and was resolved without incident. In the aftermath of the standoff, police found a copy of Rage among the possessions in Pierce's bedroom, leading to speculation that he had been inspired to carry out the plot of the novel.[4]
