October is National Principals Month, and we want to take a moment to celebrate the extraordinary leaders guiding our LC Schools every single day!
Our principals are the visionaries, problem-solvers, and biggest cheerleaders for our students, teachers, and staff. From early morning bus arrivals to late-night athletic games, performance rehearsals, and community events, their dedication creates safe, inspiring, and supportive environments where every student can thrive.
Thank you, principals, for your tireless hard work, leadership, and heart. You truly shape the future of our community, one school day at a time!
Help us celebrate! Drop a comment below to thank your school’s principal or share a favorite memory!

LC Schools: Summer Youth Programs Showcase
We are thrilled to highlight the students selected to participate in various youth programs throughout the state this past summer! Our students have shared their insights and overall experiences from each program. Take a moment to discover what they had to say! We encourage students to apply for these incredible programs that can significantly impact their futures! If you have any questions about these programs, please talk with your guidance counselor today!
Chase Kenderick- Governor's Scholar Program
“Applying to the 5-week Governor's Scholar Program was a bit of a challenge, but it was absolutely worth the effort! I truly enjoyed my experience at Murray State University. One highlight of the program was a session with a guest speaker from the National Stem Cell Foundation (NSCF). I encourage students to apply for this opportunity! I am grateful for the new connections I've made with people from all over Kentucky. The fresh ideas, techniques, skills, and leadership I've gained during these five weeks away from home have been invaluable!”
Preslie Laney- Governor's Scholar Program
“I found that applying to the Governor's Scholar Program was an intense process, but the experience was incredibly rewarding! At first, I was anxious about being away from home for five weeks. However, I quickly made connections with wonderful friends, and we still stay in touch and make plans together. This program expanded my network, enhanced my leadership skills, and equipped me for college. I also have a stronger appreciation for community now. This truly was the best summer I could have ever hoped for!”
Elle Parsley- Rogers Scholar & Governors Scholar Entrepreneur Program
“This past summer, I spent a week with the Rogers Scholar Program at Morehead State University, participating in various community service activities. I also participated in the Governors Scholar Entrepreneur Program at the University of Kentucky for three weeks. During this time, I connected with fellow students from diverse backgrounds and cultures across the state. At first, I felt a bit overwhelmed by the program’s 3-week stay, but by the end, I wished it would last longer! It was truly an incredible experience, and I highly encourage others to apply for either of these great programs!”
Aubrey Brady- Rogers Leads Program
“This year was the first year of the Rogers Leads Program! I gained invaluable insights into entrepreneurship through this experience. We met with a 15-year-old entrepreneur and discussed their business in detail. Following that, we collaborated in groups to develop our own business plans, which we then presented to the judges. One key takeaway for me was that the entrepreneurial journey can present unexpected challenges. However, it’s important to stay focused and keep working until you reach your goals! This was an incredible experience. I am grateful to have been a part of it!”
Jordan Gibbons- Rogers Explorers Program
“I was truly eager to apply for this program! Although I felt a bit nervous at first since I didn’t know anyone, I soon discovered it was an excellent opportunity to connect with new people. One highlight for me was participating in the occupational therapy class. It definitely changed my perspective on the ways in which individuals with disabilities require and receive support. Overall, it was a fantastic experience! I gained leadership skills and made wonderful friendships!”
Paisley Jones- Rogers Explorers Program
“The Rogers Explorers Program offered a chance to participate in sessions centered around nursing, drama, and community service. This experience also broadened my perspective on what college life might look like one day. My suggestion to other students is to apply and not let your nerves hold you back! I was anxious about not knowing anyone, but you will definitely connect and make friends. It’s a wonderful program that will help you develop into your future self!”

Mathematics Achievement Fund (MAF) at FES
Today, Mr. Spears, FES's third-grade teacher and MAF leader, and Ms. Pack, the FES math coach, delivered a lesson focused on understanding multiplication expressions.
The class explored how to recognize patterns in skip counting, specifically focusing on their 2s and 5s. The lesson included various paired activities designed to encourage students to think critically about different methods of grouping numbers to reach the same total. Ms. Pack also projected student work on the whiteboard to showcase different approaches and illustrate how students might group numbers differently yet still arrive at the same answer, thereby supporting diverse learning strategies.
Mr. Spear and Ms. Pack have dedicated the last year and the beginning of this school year to prioritizing lessons that promote concepts rather than mere memorization. Additionally, they are encouraging students to explore multiple strategies for solving their mathematical problems. They are doing an excellent job in transforming the way mathematics is taught at FES, enabling students to gain a deeper understanding of how to tackle their mathematical challenges. #LCisHome
