when the Jefferson County Board of Education planned to build a new high school to relieve overcrowding at nearby Fern Creek High School.
As a result, in September, 1957, Goldsmith Junior High School opened with approximately 900 seventh, eighth, and ninth graders.
the students chose a new school name and Seneca High School was born – with colors of red and gold, a team name of Redskins and a mascot – ‘Lonesome Polecat’ from Al Capp’s Li’l Abner comic strip. In the following school year (1958-59), Seneca had an enrollment of 1,455 students in grades 7-10.
Seneca’s current educational opportunities provide many avenues of exploration for the student body of more than 1,300. Always considered racially, economically and academically diverse, today Seneca includes students in all four Academies – Freshman, Agri-Science & Leadership, Health & Education and Law & IT.
