Owsley County School District is committed to enhancing the teaching and learning experiences in our classrooms through the availability and implementation of technology throughout our district. We pursue an Anytime, Anywhere, Always-On, Differentiated Teaching and Learning approach to technology that will ensure learning is not confined to the classroom and that it can continue regardless of the time of day, the physical location of the students, teachers, staff or the subject matter being studied. The technology department is proud to be an integral part of education in Owsley County and we strive to offer the best technology experience possible for all those we support.
