Diversity
Thanks to its close proximity to Fort Knox, North’s culture diversity levels are much higher than most Kentucky high schools. In fact, only high schools in the cities of Louisville and Lexington, plus Christian County and the city of Paducah, match or exceed North Hardin’s minority percentages. Because of this, the school can most accurately be described as containing an urban environment in a rural setting.

Famous quotes containing the word diversity:
“... city areas with flourishing diversity sprout strange and unpredictable uses and peculiar scenes. But this is not a drawback of diversity. This is the point ... of it.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“We call the intention good which is right in itself, but the action is good, not because it contains within it some good, but because it issues from a good intention. The same act may be done by the same man at different times. According to the diversity of his intention, however, this act may be at one time good, at another bad.”
—Peter Abelard (1079–1142)
“What we have to do ... is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)
