The school is also home to very successful extra curricular groups including the DECA and Academic Team. The school has hosted various special seminars and presentations including Rachel's Challenge, Challenge Day, and Ghost Out.HistoryGrayson County High School was established in 1974 after the three high schools throughout Grayson County were consolidated. Grayson County originally had one high school in each major community: Clarkson High School (Red Hawks), Leitchfield High School (Bulldogs), and Caneyville High School (Purple Flash). Today, each of these communities has an Elementary School (Leitchfield has 2) which all feed into one county middle and high school. To appease the various communities who had just lost their high schools, GCHS was located in a central location, and the colors and mascot were neutral of the old colors of the original schools.The school has had a fairly eventful recent history, including student protests in 1993 and 2007 that garnered attention from local media. The campus of the school has also underwent several improvements, including the construction of a technology center to teach vocational education, and the addition of a new wing in the front of the main building to allow for more classrooms. In 2006, the school implemented a controversial Freshman Academy, designed to improve performance of Freshman, and to ease their transition to high school. In 2010, this implement was eliminated and a trimester schedule was put into place. This schedule plan allows for further elective courses but decreases the total number of classes students may enroll in.
