The Craft Academy for Excellence in Science and Mathematics (simply Craft Academy) is a two-year residential early college high school serving approximately 120 high school juniors and seniors at Morehead State University. Students live in Grote-Thompson Hall on campus and take MSU classes during their time at the Academy, graduating with a Craft Academy high school diploma as well as at least 60 hours of MSU college credit.[1]
The Academy is supported by a public-private partnership between coal magnate Joe Craft and the State of Kentucky. Craft's initial $4 million pledge in support of the Academy was the single largest cash gift in the history of MSU.[2]
The first graduating Class of 2017 included 55 students. The Academy admits 60 students each year.
