Woodford County High School is a public high school located in Versailles, Kentucky, United States. It serves grades 9–12 and since 1963 has been the only public high school in Woodford County.
There were once three high schools in Woodford County: Midway High School, Versailles High School and Simmons High School. Simmons, an all-black school, closed in the 1950s, and its students then attended either Midway or Versailles. Midway High School was closed in the early 1960s.
The old Midway High School building became Midway Elementary, then was closed, remodeled and converted into historic building apartments. The old Versailles High School building became Woodford County Junior High (later renamed Woodford County Middle School) when the current Woodford County High School building was constructed in 1963. Since then, WCHS has been the only high school serving Woodford County.
WCHS athletic teams include volleyball, cheerleading, wrestling, cross country, track and field, football, boys' basketball, girls' basketball, baseball, softball, boys' soccer, girls' soccer, swimming, diving, tennis, and golf.
The wrestling team has won 13 state championships, more than any other KHSAA school, and holds the record for most individual state champions, with 56. The wrestling teams championships span from 1972 to the most recent in 2006, where the Matjackets boasted an outstanding number of five individual state champions.
