Cherokee Co. has 4 High Schools 3 are border schools only 4 or 5 minutes apart. 2 are 3A Galena and Riverton and 2 are 4A Columbus and Baxter Springs. Talk has spread about consolidation of the border schools in years past, but the flow of tears out weighted common sense. We do however still hold the State record for most welfare receivers and meth labs per capita in KS yyeeeeaaa.
