School Notes:
  • Holmes High School in Covington, Kentucky is the oldest public high school in Kentucky, founded as Covington Central High in 1853.
  • In 1919 the school moved to the mansion Holmesdale, built by Daniel Henry Holmes, who owned retail stores in Covington and New Orleans. Holmesdale was a 32-room mansion built on about 17 acres. It was sold in 1919 by the Holmes family to the Covington Board of Education for $50,000. The site is now part of the Holmes High School campus. Holmesdale was used for a school cafeteria for a time, but was torn down in 1936 to make way for an administration building.
  • The school offers a wide range of programs from International Baccalaureate courses to technical and career classes. Its distinguished graduates include the mathematician Carl Faith, and nuclear scientist Dick Lewis.
