In an effort to create a more centralized environment, the upper grades of Millersburg, Little Rock, Clintonville, and Center Hill schools were merged to create the Bourbon County Vocational High School, which opened in the fall of 1948 on the site of the present middle school facility.
Several classrooms, a new library, and a cafeteria were added and by 1968 a junior high school was also built on the campus.
