Consolidated high school

The board chose the name that received the most votes in a community survey.

The primary concern is what some consider a lack of communication between the board and county residents, saying there were ongoing discussions before the public was made aware in May 2021.

A $10 million grant that Christian County Public Schools received in October is not part of the federal relief money now in question in school districts, said Superintendent Chris Bentzel.

Community members have until Nov. 19 to respond to an online survey that lists five possible options each for name, colors and mascot.

The governor also awarded $500,000 to the county for the construction of a bridge in north Christian.

The $10 million grant, from a state program earmarked for vocational school facilities, will go toward construction of the district's consolidated high school.

The district office is taking suggestions for the school's name, mascot and colors through an online survey and suggestion boxes.

The facilities grant will be used for construction of a new consolidated high school.

The high school, with a capacity for 2,500 students, would cost $115 million. The district wants to complete it in three years.
