Cardinals will drop a class in 2019 with addition of Great Crossing High School to the county. McKee’s youngest son will be a senior that year. Excited for 2018 but cards will certainly have a good chance to win it in 19

Do you know what class Great Crossing will begin in?

I think they are both in 5A. Georgetown news guy tweeted that based on enrollment numbers they both fall in the middle/lower half of 5A

Great Crossing opens in 2019?

Yes. All students currently at SCHS will be allowed to stay but districting will come into effect for all incoming freshmen

Unless I'm misinterpreting what you're saying, seems like Great Crossing will be pretty empty the first couple years?

I take that back. Rising juniors and seniors will be allowed to stay even if they are out of district. Districting will effect freshmen and sophomores immediately.

That makes a little more sense. Nice that they're allowing the juniors and seniors to stay.

That is one big district for both schools to fall in 5A

Currently you have Royal Spring, Georgetown Middle, and Scott Middle. I believe there is another MS coming that will be paired with Great Crossing later.

 

Can anyone give a general breakdown of hot the MS will feed the different HS according to the district lines?

My grandson will go to Royal Spring next year and you can basically see Scott Co. HS fron RSMS. Less than 1/2 mile. from football field

I've heard they are building a pretty good sized stadium on Great Crossing campus and both schools will play home games there. Getting out of the Georgetown College deal is a win for Scott County. The college really took advantage of them is what I have heard.

I heard something a ways back about Great Crossing having more of an advanced academic curriculum. They will be focusing on things like offering more AP classes and so on - at least moreso than Scott County High School does. Is there any truth to that?

 

If so, does that make it a magnet system of sorts?

They paid for 25% of the (decently) new field turf at GC. However, SC soccer uses the field a lot as well. But yes I have the same thing as well, brand new stadium with Great Crossing in one end zone and SC in the other. Athletic director DT Wells said there will be some Saturday games for both teams since they will be sharing the same venue.

A little bit of a tangent-----but what is behind the name "Great Crossing"? I like it.
