Glasgow High School (Kentucky)
- Glasgow High School (Kentucky)
Glasgow High School is a U.S. high school (grades 9 to 12) in the city of Glasgow, Barren County, Kentucky. It is the only public high school for the Glasgow Independent School System; however, Barren County High School, which serves the Barren County School System, also lies within the city limits, and in fact lies physically within the boundaries of the Glasgow district.
Athletics
Glasgow High sports teams compete under the nickname "Scotties," in honor of the city's Scottish heritage and name. Their colors are blue and white. The Scotties compete in football, soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, golf, track and field, and cross country on the varsity levels, and lacrosse as a club sport.
The Scotties' most notable achievement was their 1967-68 state basketball championship in Kentucky's single-class tournament. The team was coached by Jim Richards, who went on to become head coach at nearby Western Kentucky University. In 2000-01, the team also won the "All A" Championship Tournament, a separate tournament for Kentucky's small schools; then-coach Bart Flener is now an assistant coach at Asbury College.
Marching Band
The Glasgow Scottie Band, the school's marching band, normally wears full Scottish regalia as its uniform, and often includes bagpipe players. The band was directed by Charles B. Honeycutt for more than two decades; he later became the school's principal, then mayor of Glasgow.
