McCracken County Public Schools

McCracken County Public Schools (MCPS) is a school district headquartered in Hendron, unincorporated McCracken County, Kentucky.^[1]^[2]^[3]

The district serves all of McCracken County except for most of the area within the city limits of Paducah, which is served by its own independent school district. However, portions of the city, especially in the west, lie within the McCracken County district,^[4] and feed either Heath or Lone Oak Middle School. There are currently eleven schools that make up the MCPS district.

On August 9, 2013, a new McCracken County High School opened, combining the three previous high schools. Lone Oak Middle School moved into the former Lone Oak High building. The previous Lone Oak Middle building became Lone Oak Intermediate School, serving 4th and 5th grade students who had in the past attended Lone Oak and Hendron–Lone Oak Elementary Schools.^{[citation needed]}
