History

In the early 20th century, high school classes in Oldham County were held in a two-room house in Centerfield. Oldham County had established the Oldham County Public High School by 1903, i a purpose-built high school building. It moved to North Hwy 393 in LaGrange in 1953. The old high school was converted into First Baptist Church of La Grange in the mid-1960s. The original building burned in the 1990s, replaced by a church.
In 1989 South Oldham High School opened due to overcrowding at Oldham, and in 2003 North Oldham High School opened as the community grew.
The school gained accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1960.
