History The school is named after the Conner family of Hebron, who donated the land due to overcrowding in nearby Boone County High School, located in Florence, Ky. Construction problems delayed its opening, and school started with two classes and two teachers in one classroom at Conner Junior High School. Since the athletic facilities were not finished, football and basketball games were played at Boone County High School. Conner High School opened its doors for the first time on October 15, 1970 with less than 600 students in grades 10–12. Paul Hogan was selected to be the principal, Hilliard Collins the Assistant Principal, Don Bornhorst was the guidance counselor and Carlton Anderson was the athletic director. Jerry Risch served as the first head football coach and Bill Warfield as the head basketball coach. The athletic season highlight for that year was winning the 33rd district basketball tournament. Among the members of the first coaching staff was Wayne Badida, who continues to direct a very fine wrestling program. Since those 136 students graduated in the first class of 1971, over 6000 student have gone through the graduation ceremonies. These graduates have made their mark in society. Many have continued their education in the finest colleges and universities in the nation. Conner alumni represent a wide range of professions and occupations. Today, with an enrollment over 1300, a comprehensive, fully accredited high school curriculum, extra curricular and athletic programs are offered.
