General information

Beechwood High School, founded 1860, is operated by an "independent" school district, which in Kentucky refers to a district that is independent of a county. Most school districts in the state coincide exactly with county boundaries. The Beechwood district is unique in that the high school is directly run by the district superintendent, Dr. Mike Stacy. This school is a relatively small school with roughly 100 students in each graduating class. The school's mascot is the Tiger. Although the high school is listed as 7th-12th grade, an elementary (grades K-6) also exists in the same building. The building as a whole is the Beechwood Independent School District.
