Renovation and Addition
After undergoing recent renovations and additions, the school has undergone a complete physical overhaul. The campus formerly consisted of four buildings that are now joined entirely under one roof. Part of the renovation included the construction of a new, much needed, $8.1 million gymnasium. Styled MCHS Arena, the facility comfortably seats 4,200. Theoretically, the gym will accommodate 5,000, standing room only, although such an arrangement must be cleared with the Kentucky State Fire Marshal prior to an event. The ample seating capacity allows Montgomery County High School to be considered for hosting the much-coveted 10th Region Boys Basketball Tournament. In addition to classrooms, the new facilities also include an administration corridor, state of the art media center with computer labs, landscaped courtyard and a desirable cafeteria and food preparation area.

Famous quotes containing the words renovation and/or addition:
“Forgetfulness is necessary to remembrance. Ideas are retained by renovation of that impression which time is always wearing away, and which new images are striving to obliterate. If useless thoughts could be expelled from the mind, all the valuable parts of our knowledge would more frequently recur, and every recurrence would reinstate them in their former place.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
