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:
“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)
“The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of government.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“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)
