Funny eh? What you are saying is very true and if things don't change they will not even be 1 single a school in this county. Yeah that's real funny big buy! If you want to talk numbers Harlan county is better off numbers wise than most county schools in eastern ky. Bell co being the worst as far as losing pop. You must only go about an hour down the road to must most of them in Laurel co. Times are tough all the way around for everyone and I don't think it's a bit funny or lol! I pray something will change for the good every night so men as myself can feed their families and hope you would do the same? As far as Only one school and it being single a it would still be HC. You think the state would fork over 15 million dollars for a 60 plus million dollar school and close it down before Harlan ind. you are badly mistaken! Think about that and see if it's lol?

As far as what you said about HHS closing before HC,I believe HHS will become a private school before it ever closes. Maybe a private Christian school. There is enough money in and from alumni to never see it completely gone. Because of the hatred spurned by the county for the city school and the fact that HHS is a long time institution in this county there are many families that would never send their children there. HHS has lasted since there was 9 or 10 high schools in this county and now there's only more to out last. But,whether coal comes back or not there will always be a need for a county school,so,I don't see either school ever going anywhere. Just scaling way down. Look at it this way,wildone,the county will be the nicest 1A school in the state. There will be tumble weeds rolling down the halls but it will still be nice. Just maybe HHS will become like Lex. Christian or something. Who knows? Just a thought.
