College & Career Coach
(Updated Link)
We have a new College and Career Readiness Coach, Ms. Traci Barton. She has worked with both middle and high school students as a teacher and a coach. She will be working with the majority of the seniors as well as all other grades in regards to planning and providing college and career opportunities throughout the school year. If your student would prefer to remain with their current counselor for their senior year (Matthew Dryden: A-G, Lesley Vickers: H-O, Stacey Guthrie: P-Z), please sign up here.
This request will be on a first come, first served basis, with a cap of 30 for each counselor. In the event a counselor doesn't reach the cap, we will randomly assign students to reach 30 per counselor. The deadline to request to remain with your current counselor will be September 1st or until the cap is reached, whichever comes first.

Alive @ 25 Workshop
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.
You can register your 16 years or older student by going to
Date: Thursday, August 26 - 4pm-8pm Where: Cooper Library Media Center
Hurry and register today, there is limited seating available. We are working on securing another date in October!
