Silver_Grove_Independent_Schools
Silver Grove Independent Schools was a school district located in Silver Grove, a small community in Campbell County, Kentucky. The area served by the school district included the town of Silver Grove and environs. The school, which had grades from pre-kindergarten through 12 in a single building, used "Big Trains" as its athletic nickname, stemming from the city's and school district's founding in 1911 when the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad built a railyard in the community.[1] The local station has since been remodeled into a drywall plant.
In the 2017–18 school year, the district had 172 students.[2] In February 2019 the district had slightly over 200 students, with one source citing 215[3] and another 211.[1] That month the district voted to merge into the surrounding Campbell County Schools district,[4] and the county board voted to accept the merger.[1] The district held its final day of instruction on May 16, 2019,[5] formally merging with the Campbell County district on July 1 of that year.[6]
