Waggener High School, St. Matthews, Kentucky & Much More


Welcome to another of Al's Projects. I graduated from Waggener High School in 1961 and what I have tried to gather here is the history of the school (1954 to 1962 plus a little more), photos from the school, its administrators, faculty and student body and the St. Matthews and surrounding area during the time frame I and my fellow classmates would have lived there. Many of us grew up in the area so the information and photos will be from about 1950 to 1969. Not having been very active in school affairs, now grown, this is one way I can give back to the school and community for helping build the foundation that has helped me all through my life.


My hope is that seeing this will encourage fellow Alumni or interested persons to contribute information and photos so we all might enjoy them.


This project could not have been accomplished without the help of the following, apologies to anyone not named. SPECIAL THANKS TO:
