Western Hills High School

Description

Western Hills High School is a secondary school located at 100 Doctors Drive in Frankfort, Kentucky. It is the more recently constructed of the two high schools in the Franklin County Public Schools district, having opened to students in 1981. The first student body selected the Warrior as the mascot, as the feeding middle school's mascot is the Brave. However, that majority vote was overruled during that vote by the school's future first principal and the Wolverine became the mascot. There is a strong rivalry with Franklin County High School, the older school in the district.Notable Graduates Broadway and television actor Will Chase.Infielder for the Miami Marlins J.T.
