Frankfort, KY — Franklin County Schools is proud to announce that Western Hills High School has been recognized with the prestigious 2024 College Success Award from GreatSchools.org, a national honor that celebrates public high schools excelling at preparing students for success in higher education.
Western Hills High School is one of only 31 schools in Kentucky to receive this distinction, placing it among 1,436 award-winning schools across 19 states. The award highlights schools that demonstrate strong outcomes in three critical areas: college preparation, college enrollment, and college performance. Western Hills students consistently graduate ready for college-level coursework, enroll in two- or four-year institutions, and persist into their second year.
We are incredibly proud of Western Hills High School for earning this national recognition. This award reflects the dedication of our educators, the commitment of our students, and the support of our families and community. Western Hills embodies the excellence we strive for across Franklin County Schools.
The College Success Award, now in its sixth year, is based on data that measures how well schools prepare students not only to graduate but to thrive in college. Western Hills’ achievement underscores its mission to provide a challenging and supportive educational environment that equips students to lead, serve, and succeed in their chosen paths.
Franklin County Schools congratulates Western Hills High School’s faculty, staff, students, and families on this outstanding accomplishment. This recognition is a testament to the Wolverines’ tradition of excellence and their bright future ahead.
