Elizabethtown High School

Elizabethtown High School (or EHS) is a four–year public high school located in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, United States. A part of Elizabethtown Independent Schools (EIS), it is commonly referred to as E-Town High School or EHS.

Elizabethtown High School ranked #7 in the state on the 2009 spring exam.

The school has a population of 775 students and employs about 50 teachers. Josh Henderson has been the principal since July 1, 2024.

Through the 2019–20 school year, it served high school students in West Point, and therefore was a feeder high school of the West Point Independent School District, which only covered grades K–8. This arrangement ended on July 1, 2020, when the West Point district merged into Hardin County Schools (HCS). West Point students already enrolled at EHS will be allowed to continue their education there; future West Point high school students will attend North Hardin High School.

Elizabethtown High School was founded in 1908. The first building used by Elizabethtown High School was the Elizabethtown Graded School Building, which served elementary school to high school. It was built in 1816, and demolished around 1914.

The second Elizabethtown High School building was built in 1914 at a cost of $23,000. It opened in 1915, and in 1923 a gymnasium and auditorium was added to the school building at a cost of $20,000. In 1953, the school was destroyed by a boiler explosion. The land it was on is currently the city hall parking lot.

The third building was built in late 1953. The building was located on 323 Morningside Dr. and was used until fall 1971. After Elizabethtown High School moved buildings, the old building was converted into a middle school, and named T.K. Stone Junior High (now T.K. Stone Middle School), in honor of Talton K. Stone, who served as superintendent from 1953 to 1971. during the time it was the EHS building.

The fourth, and current building was built in 1971. It is located at 620 N Mulberry St.
