For six long years, young teenagers in Martin County, Kentucky attended high school courses held in Inez Middle School. In 2013, highway construction on a nearby mountain had rendered their aging high school unsafe for students. The entire community can now celebrate this very special campus they worked incredibly hard to bring to life, overcoming countless obstacles to make it a reality.
The new Martin County High School is a 132,000-square-foot, zero-energy-ready facility that includes a commercial food laboratory, a performing arts space, an aerospace lab, an advanced science suite, flexible collaboration space at the entry to the academic wing, a new Area Technology Center and a competition gym that seats 2,000 spectators.
