Our incoming 6th graders had an amazing time at Camp Middle School, and a HUGE part of that success goes to our incredible Student Lighthouse Team! 🚀
These student leaders stepped up in a big way—guiding our newest school family members through a scavenger hunt and a school tour, helping them master locker combinations, answering burning middle school questions, and making sure everyone felt welcome and supported.
Seeing our older students mentor and encourage the rising 6th graders is what Leader in Me is all about. We are so proud of the culture of leadership, empathy, and community our students are building every day.
Welcome to middle school, Class of 2033! You're going to do great things here. 💙 🎉
Please join us in giving a huge congratulations to our very own Mrs. Rice! 🌾🚜
Mrs. Rice recently completed the prestigious Kentucky Master Agriculture Teacher Program! This program takes incredible dedication, hard work, and a commitment to bringing the absolute best hands-on learning experiences to our middle school students.
We are so lucky to have her passion, expertise, and leadership guiding our young leaders in agriculture every day.
Thank you for all that you do for our students, school, and community, Mrs. Rice! 💚🌟

Last Friday, we officially kicked off our GEAR UP launch in partnership with KEDC, and the energy in the room was absolutely electric! We started the day learning more about the GEAR UP mission—focusing on opening doors, expanding opportunities, and preparing our students for a bright future.
But we didn't just talk about the future... we built it! 🛠️
The amazing team from LEGO Education joined us for a hands-on presentation that turned our students into instant engineers. The ultimate test? The Duck Challenge! 🦆 Students were given exactly 45 seconds to build a LEGO duck with zero instructions. The creativity, laughter, and fast-paced problem-solving were unmatched. (Turns out, there are a lot of ways to design a duck!)
The best part? The building doesn't stop at school. Thanks to this incredible partnership, every single student got to go home with their very own LEGO kit! 🎁✨
