- Simon_Kenton_High_School abstract "Simon Kenton High School is located at 11132 Madison Pike in Independence, Kentucky. The school's athletic teams are known as the PioneersOn July 19, 1935, an application was filed with the Public Works Administration for Kenton County, Kentucky for funds to construct a public high school. The application was approved, and on November 2, 1935 a deed was signed for a 23-acre (93,000 m2) site on Madison Pike, one-half mile south of the center of the city of Independence. A 5.5-acre (22,000 m2) addition was added shortly thereafter to allow for the construction of a lake on-site to provide water for the school. The overall project's cost is recorded as $175,606.85.The decision to name the school after famous Kentucky pioneer Simon Kenton, was made official on October 22, 1935, with the official dedication occurring September 5 of the same year. With an initial enrollment of 496 students, Simon Kenton High School opened its doors on September 13, 1937.The initial building that housed the school remained static until 1954, when a new bi-level building was completed to accommodate the growing student population. In 1964, a new cafeteria was added to the existing structure. In 1970, the original lake was drained after the drowning death of senior Robert Blanton. 1970 also saw the addition of a wing to the North side of the school as well as the expansion of the paved parking lot. The school has recently undergone a total renovation of the facade as well as the addition of a new wing, cafeteria, and library. On October 8, 1980, the school's four buildings suffered an estimated 1.5 million dollars in damage as a series of explosions from a natural gas line swept the campus. The continued explosions injured approximately 35 of the Fire and Rescue workers that responded to the scene. One student, a junior by the name of Robert Williams, also lost his life. Later in that same school year, the school would make headlines for a much more joyful reason; the Pioneers boys' basketball team won the 1981 Kentucky state championship, becoming the first school ever from Northern Kentucky to win the title. (Note that Kentucky, unlike almost all other states, has never adopted a multiple-class system for high school basketball.)The current principal is Mrs. Martha Setters. Ms. Georgina Campbell, and Mr. John Popham serve as Assistant Principals. Mr. Trent Steiner is the Associate Principal.As of July 1, 2007, Mrs. Setters took over as principal, replacing Mr. Richard Culross.On September 21, 2012 10 people, 7 adults and 3 students who walked out of school during hours, stood on the other side of Madison Pike road to protest racism in the school with signs with messages such as 'Stop Racism'. The protestors say the school is racist and few minorities attend the school and claim that some students flaunt racist flags and make racist comments. Earlier in the week a black student and a white student had gotten into a fight and were both suspended. An argument arose Thursday night on Facebook over the punishment since only one student started the fight, and the idea of a protest started when chatter on Facebook, regarding students bringing guns and knives to school after the fight, came to the attention of some parents. The Independence police were brought in Friday as a precaution. The only violent event on Friday was a fist fight in the class change between 3rd period and SKORE(Simon Kenton Opportunity to Reach Excellence) on the first floor, but it was quickly broken up in a matter of seconds. Despite rumors going about the school and community there was no lockdown, SWAT team, tank on the football field, Ku Klux Klan members, bomb, or gun/knife fights at Simon Kenton High School on Friday. Many students agree that the school isn't racist and the protest was an overreaction. Some Seniors believe the "fight week", the school week from September 17 to September 21 that has had several fights compared to previous years, to have been the result of underclassmen being in general "rowdy". No Seniors have been involved in any fights this year, and the majority of the students involved in a fight this week have been Sophomores. On Friday September 21 after school activities were still held. Noted school alumni include:Troy McKinley, captain of the 1981 state championship basketball team.Trevor Duncan, class of 1987, an Appalachian Trail thru-hiker.".
