LEXINGTON, Ky. — Lexington Catholic High School has reported itself to the Kentucky High School Athletic Association after discovering a violation involving tuition payments for five incoming students, according to WUKY 91.3 FM.

The self-reported violation prompted the school to dismiss its president. The nature of the tuition payments and their specific connection to the KHSAA bylaw breach was not immediately detailed in the initial report.

Self-reporting violations to the KHSAA, the governing body for Kentucky high school athletics, is considered a significant step that can affect how the organization handles disciplinary matters. Schools that proactively report infractions may receive more favorable consideration during investigation and sanction phases.

Lexington Catholic, a private Catholic preparatory school in Fayette County, competes in the KHSAA as a member institution. The school's athletics program includes multiple varsity sports across boys and girls competitions.

The dismissal of the school's president indicates the seriousness with which leadership responded to the discovered violation. Additional details about the specific bylaw infraction, the students involved, and potential sanctions were expected to emerge as the KHSAA review process continues.
