The Caverna Independent School District is a Kentucky public school district that ranges from Horse Cave to Cave City, in the United States. It is one of the few public school districts in the state of Kentucky that includes portions of more than one county. The school district includes portions of northwestern Barren and southwestern Hart County, including most of Cave City (excluding the area immediately surrounding the Interstate 65Kentucky 90 interchange) and all of Horse Cave. The district boundary extends well past the limits of both cities. [1]
