John Hardin High School is a school located in Radcliff, Kentucky[2] but served by the post office of neighboring Elizabethtown. Established in 2001, the school is named after the Revolutionary War officer and Native American fighter, John Hardin.

Education system[edit]

The school runs on "block" scheduling; there are five 70 minute blocks of class a day. Students are required to receive 26 credits before graduation. The exact credits required vary depending on the desired diploma: the Commonwealth Diploma, the highest and most difficult to achieve, the Academic Studies diploma (second highest), and the Regular Studies diploma. The classes rotate every trimester, 12 weeks.

Bill Clinton visit[edit]

Former president Bill Clinton visited John Hardin High School on May 19, 2008 to campaign for his wife, Hillary Clinton in the 2008 democratic primary election. He met John Hardin Principal Alvin Garrison, and other members of the John Hardin staff such as Gregory Cecil, and valedictorian, Will Chadwick before delivering his speech. The event took place at 7:30 p.m and was open to the public.[3]
