Letcher County Central High School (LCCHS) is a public high school containing grades 9–12 in the southeastern city Ermine of Letcher County, Kentucky, United States,[2] about 15 miles from the Virginia border.[6] The school opened in 2005 with its first graduating class in 2006. This is now the only high school in the district because it was built to combine all high schools of the district into one.[8] However, it is not the only public high school in Letcher County, as the city of Jenkins and its immediate area are served by a separate school district that did not participate in the consolidation. LCCHS was rated bronze in the "US News Best High Schools" rankings.[5]

In 2012 LCCHS offered its 930 students Advanced Placement courses, 16 athletic teams, vocational courses, a Speech Team, a Pep and Marching Band with a Color Guard, JROTC, programs for office workers and peer tutors, and other extracurricular activities and clubs.[9]
