- History & Memorable Moments
In 1949, the school and the town was shaken by the sensational murder of one of its cheerleaders. One of the two men initially charged was a member of the Board of Education. Charges against the Board member were eventually dropped, and the other man was acquitted, leaving the murder unsolved to this day.[1]
In 1958, 26 students from the high school and local grade schools died, along with the bus driver, in the Prestonsburg bus disaster. In terms of death, the accident is tied for the worst bus accident in United States history with the 1988 Carrollton bus disaster, which also occurred in Kentucky, although the Carrollton crash resulted in more injured.[1]
