"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn" (Alvin Toffler, 1970)
High standards and academic excellence is the goal we continuously strive for in our schools. We strive to provide a comprehensive learning experience designed to meet the needs of our student population.
Our district staff is dedicated to creating a learning environment in which knowledge, critical thinking, and problem-solving flourish. As members of a learning community; students, administrators, and support staff strive to do their best to meet the learning needs that exist in our school district.
We are, and have always have been, focused on graduating literate students prepared for life outside of high school.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments about our programs. We are here to help you in any way we can.

The Kentucky Department of Education Assessment Overview is the assessment and accountability system for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Beginning in 1990, Kentucky chose to have an all-inclusive assessment and accountability system by having all Kentucky public school students participate in annual testing with the results of those assessments included in the state’s accountability system for schools and districts.
