Our Joint Leadership Team reviewed progress toward school goals and developed next steps for continued improvement. The team also examined fall-to-winter NWEA student data to identify strengths and growth areas. These insights will guide upcoming conversations and action planning with school staff to support student progress.




Let's protect the palace tonight against the Breathitt Co. Bobcats! Pep section theme is Disney and participants should sit close to the band to help cheer both our varsity teams to victory tonight!

Happy New Year

Our Owsley County Owls enjoyed a team trip to Indianapolis to watch the Indiana Pacers take on the Boston Celtics. What a great experience for our players and coaches.
A big thank you to our sponsors who made this opportunity possible: Owsley County Health Care Center, YPK, local community private donors, and First Defense Security.
We appreciate your support of our student athletes!
