Шаблон:Primary sources Шаблон:Infobox school Elizabethtown High School is located in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, United States. A part of Elizabethtown Independent Schools (EIS), it is commonly referred to as E'Town High School or EHS.
Elizabethtown High School ranked #7 in the state on the 2009 spring exam.
The school has a population of 775 students and employs about 50 teachers.[1] Ben Monnett has been the principal since July 1, 2023.
Through the 2019–20 school year, it served high school students in West Point, and therefore was a feeder high school of the West Point Independent School District, which only covered grades K–8.[2] This arrangement ended on July 1, 2020, when the West Point district merged into Hardin County Schools (HCS). West Point students already enrolled at EHS will be allowed to continue their education there; future West Point high school students will attend North Hardin High School.[3]
History
The first Elizabethtown High School building was built in 1914 at a cost of $23,000. It opened in 1915, and in 1923 a gymnasium and auditorium was added to the school building at a cost of $20,000.[4] In 1955, the school was destroyed by a boiler explosion.
The second building was built in 1956. The building was located on 323 Morningside Dr. and was used until sometime before August 1977. After Elizabethtown High School moved buildings, the old building was converted into a middle school, and named T.K. Stone Junior High School, in honor of Talton K. Stone, who was superintendent during the time it was the EHS building.
The third, and current building was built sometime before 1977. It is located at 620 N Mulberry St.
Education system
The school starts at 8:25 A.M. and ends at 3:25 P.M. EHS runs on "period" scheduling. There are five 70 minute periods of class per day. Lunch is taken during third period and there are three rotations of lunch. There is a 25-minute advisory period in between first and second. There are three trimesters in a school year.
Students must acquire four credits before graduation. EHS is on the traditional semester class rotation where it stresses the mastery of basic skills. EHS offers the opportunity to seniors to take dual credit classes at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College.
Athletics
