Eight in the county district (James A. Cawood, Cawood, Wallins, Cumberland, Green Hills, Evarts, Black Mountain and Rosspoint).
Yes, Black Star closed in 65, I think. The elementary closed in 85 and burned down soon after.
I have a few clues.

Back in the coal boom days Harlan County had like 10 (give or take a few) high schools. Harlan County used to be one of the wealthiest counties in the country. Now look at us, THANKS Obama!

Other former Harlan County High Schools that didn't field football teams
1. Pine Mountain Settlement School (I think they only had a couple graduating classes. Most of the years PMSS only went through 10th grade)
2. Highsplint (1930s. The only reason I know they had a high school is this school shows up in the 52nd district basketball archives)
