Great Crossing High School is a public high school currently under construction in Georgetown, Kentucky, United States that is set to open in August 2019. It will be operated by Scott County Schools (SCS), which oversees all public K–12 education in Scott County, Kentucky.
The school is being built to address overcrowding at Scott County High School, also located in Georgetown and previously the only public high school in the county. 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. With this in mind, the school district approved construction of the new school, breaking ground in 2017. It is located about 1 mile (1.6 km) away from Scott County High and also adjacent to Elkhorn Crossing School, a detached campus of Scott County High.[1]
The new school is being built with space for over 1,900 students, but is expected to open with about 1,500.[1] Great Crossing is not expected to reach its final enrollment figures until at least 2021, as SCS is allowing all rising juniors and seniors for 2019–20 to remain at Scott County High if they wish. Additionally, any siblings of these students who are set to attend an SCS high school will also be allowed to attend Scott County High.[3]
