Christian County Public Schools is the public school system of Christian County, Kentucky, United States. After many of the high schools in the area were consolidated in 1959, the city and county schools were consolidated with the formation of the school district in 1971.[2] As of the 2018–2019 year, there were 8219 students and 506 FTE classroom teachers.

There are eight elementary schools serving preschoolers through sixth graders, two middle schools serving seventh and eighth graders, and two high schools serving ninth through twelfth graders. There are also some alternative schools including a program for students in the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice system.[3]

In August 2021, Christian County Public Schools Board voted to consolidate Christian County High School, Hopkinsville High School and Gateway Academy to a College & Career Academy High School (also named Hopkinsville–Christian County Academy)[4] The planned opening of the school is the Fall semester of 2024, with Christian County High School and Hopkinsville High School closing the same semester.
