 SCS had planned to build a new high school in the 1990s, but never followed through on those plans until the last half of the 2010s.By that time, overcrowding at Scott County High, the only public high school in the county, had reached crisis proportions.During the last half of the 2010s, Scott County was the fastest-growing county in Kentucky, and was projected to have more than 3,000 high school students by the 2020–21 school year.
