The Trenton School

Education
8
Trenton School was built in 1920 through the initiative of the citizens of Trenton, Kentucky. Funds were donated, and the Board of Trustees personally borrowed the balance needed to complete construction of the school. Students from the first to the 12th grades were educated there. By 1935, the entire $42,000 debt was retired. In 1957, Trenton School merged with Todd County Schools and Trenton High School closed. The building continued as Trenton Elementary School until a county consolidation of all elementary schools in 1988. Trenton Community Center, Inc. purchased the school and gym in 1988 to preserve them for future generations of Trenton citizens.
