In December 1885, the original building burned. Students had classes in various buildings in downtown until the school could be rebuilt. The new building was built large enough to allow for a full high school. After the fire, Frankfort High School reopened in 1889. The school had a 3-year program and the 1st graduating of 7 girls was in 1892. In 1892, Frankfort City Schools became the first school in Kentucky to offer kindergarten. A commercial school program was added in 1904. A 4-year program was started in 1909. In 1956, Frankfort High School became desegregated. Notable graduates include George C. Wolfe, Steve Nunn, Major General Edgar E. Hume, Lt. Governor Crit Luallen, diplomat James Sutterlin, and silent film star Bob Custer (Raymond Glenn). The Frankfort High mascot is a panther.
