Owsley County School District

Lady Owls JV Game Day

All teachers across the district are participating in peer observations focused on their identified growth areas, while district administrators teach their classes to make this possible. This has been a powerful way to learn from one another and has also given our admin team meaningful time back with students, which is truly the heart of our work.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

The Middle School Academic Team competed in the annual Governor’s Cup competition this Saturday at Wolfe County Middle School. While our Quick Recall team was eliminated in round three, several of our students had strong individual performances and advanced to the next level of competition. Daniel Burns placed 2nd in Social Studies, Jorge Perez placed 3rd in Social Studies and 3rd in Science, Erick McIntosh placed 5th in Science, and Jinger Marshall placed 4th in Arts and Humanities. We’re proud of the hard work and dedication these students continue to show. They will advance to the next level of competition on February 14th at Breathitt County. Congratulations to all of our competitors and coaches!

Owsley County High School was proud to host a ribbon cutting ceremony for Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG), celebrating the launch of a program focused on preparing students for success beyond high school. JAG will support our students through career exploration, employability skills, leadership development, and postsecondary planning. We’re excited to partner in this work and grateful to everyone who helped make this opportunity possible for our students.

Please note that there will be no school on Monday, January 19, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Additionally, Friday, January 23, is scheduled to be our 100th day of school, provided no instructional days are missed prior to that date.

This group of administrators and teachers participated in TorchPrep SAT training today at KEDC to strengthen their understanding and bring back strategies to support student success on the upcoming spring SAT.

Great practice with the Owsley and Breathitt County Cheerleaders as both squads gear up for Nationals at the end of the month. Amazing energy and teamwork! 📣

Congratulations goes out to Lady Owls PG Delaney Smith, Rise Up 606 Player of the Week!
