Scholarships  

Mrs. Barton keeps a running scholarship guide for students and parents to apply for various scholarships that are local, regional and national.

These scholarships mainly apply to our graduates. In many instances, only a handful of students apply. We encourage all graduates that meet each of the scholarship criteria to apply in order to increase their chance of being awarded available scholarship money to go towards post-secondary expenses. 

One of the most recent scholarships made available is: 

• Rotary Club of Florence Scholarship (due Monday, March 14th 2022).

Click here to view the scholarship guide. We also encourage you to check back often for any updates.  

Alive At 25 Driving Course

We are hosting an Alive At 25 driving course designed expressly teenagers.  Alive At 25 is a statewide program that students can take in lieu of the state's Graduated License Program (GLP). 

This innovative defensive-driving four hour course is developed by the National Safety Council to prevent traffic violations, collisions and fatalities among young drivers 16-24. The course curriculum involves interactive media segments, workbook exercises, role playing and more, allowing young drivers the ability to develop convictions and strategies that will keep them safe on the road. 

This program includes the required laws and statues necessary for the Commonwealth's new drivers. This program is offered through the Kentucky State Police which will guide the new teen drivers through their Graduated License Program years and into their adult years as defensive drivers. This will ensure that death and injury rates for these people and their families will remain low, making the highways of Kentucky a safer place to drive.

Cooper High School is offering another course on Tuesday, April 26th 4:00-8:00 p.m. There is NO COST associated with this course.  You can register your 16 years or older student by going to http://www.kentuckysafedriver.com or by calling 502-699-2295.  

Hurry and register today, there is limited seating available.
