History

Pre-history and the Bourbon Academy

The Bourbon Academy, was formed in 1798 as an act of Kentucky Legislature and was the earliest school in the county.[4] The Bourbon Academy was donated 6000 acres of land for its endowment; and opened for classes starting in May 1800, with teacher Isaac Tull and a tuition requirement.[4] Its educational successes started the tradition and value of educating children in Paris and Bourbon County.

Paris City School was founded in 1865 as a segregated public high school for white students, under the leadership of principal Julius Herrick.[4][5] The during the first year the class consisted of the principal, 3 teachers and 130 students, and was held in the former Bourbon Academy building on Pleasant Street.[6] Classes were free for Paris residents, but Bourbon County residents had to pay a tuition.[6]

Other early principals at the Paris City School included George Varden from 1867 to 1868; W. H. Lockhart from 1868 to 1871; W. E. Clarke from 1871 to 1873; Ben D. Best from 1873 to 1874; Pukett from 1874 to 1880; and H. R. Blaisdell from 1880 to 1882.[4]

The building on Pleasant Street burned on January 18, 1889, and a new Richardsonian Romanesque style building was finished by 1890 and located on 7th Street.[6] On January 28, 1907, a faulty furnace burned down the school, classes were temporarily held in the courthouse basement until the new school building could be finished the following year.[6]

The new school building was much larger and could accommodate up to 750 students, it featured with four porch columns.[6] In 1923, the second floor of the building was dedicated as the Paris Junior High School.[6] In 1928, a gymnasium was added to the complex. The building was demolished in 1966. But the old gymnasium was later converted into a library in 1992, when they built a new gymnasium.[6]

After the U.S. Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the city integration committee was led by chair, Grover Baldwin Jr.[7] In 1963, four Black students from Paris Western High School were sent to attend Paris High School in efforts towards racially-integration.[8] The following year in 1964, all of the African American students from Paris Western High School were moved into Paris High School.[5]

Athletics

The Paris High School won three State football championships in 1973, 1981, and 1982.[9] Notable former school athletes included Basil Hayden (1916), Blanton Collier (1928), Bill Arnsparger (1943), Beth Wilkerson (1979), and Alvin Sims (1993).[9]
