Pleasure Ridge Park High School is a public secondary school in the Pleasure Ridge Park neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. It is part of the Jefferson County Public Schools (Kentucky) district. It is next to Greenwood Road Elementary School and Valley Sports Little League.
The campus consists of five buildings: the Main Building, the Tech Building, the New Gym, the E-Building, and the Fine Arts Auditorium. The main building consists of the Old Gym, the ITV room, the cafeteria, the library, two computer labs, the main office, and the counselor's office. The tech building consists of a computer lab, the weight room, and the seminar room.
In January 2009, the school's football coach was indicted with a charge of reckless homicide in the death of a lineman, who collapsed during practice in August 2008 when the heat index reached 94. The lineman had a temperature of 107 when he arrived at the hospital, and he died three days later. The coach resigned pending the outcome of the case, and was found not guilty in September 2009.
