Five Henry County High School students represented our district well today as they volunteered at a Re-entry Simulation at the HOPE Center. We applaud Kimberly Hayes, Morgan Montgomery, Maggie Whaley, Annie Kent and Autumn Pyles for their service to the community today.

This eye-opening activity, a collaborative effort between Tri-County Community Action Agency and the Department of Corrections Division of Re-entry Services, is meant to illustrate the challenges incarcerated individuals may experience when they are released from custody.

Today, the Kentucky Department of Education released the results of last year's statewide accountability assessments.

The website, kyschoolreportcard.com, contains a great deal of information about our district as a whole, and on each of our five schools. It also provides a new 5-star rating system, for an "at-a-glance" snapshot of each school's performance.

In summary, here's how our schools were rated using the new system:
Henry County High School - 3 stars
Henry County Middle School - 3 stars
New Castle Elementary School - 2 stars
Eastern Elementary School - 3 stars
Campbellsburg Elementary School - 3 stars

In addition, all of our schools have been classified as "Other," meaning none require intervention or assistance by the state in regards to academic performance.

The Kentucky Center for School Safety announces Kentucky Safe Schools Week for October 20–26, 2019. This year's theme is “Our Safety Story!”

Every school has its own cast of characters weaving the fabric of its own Safety Story. Our schools are composed of students/staff who are a host of likely characters with a variety of interests and talents.

We ask that you join us across Kentucky, each and every school, as we embrace unity, kindness and empathy to enhance "Our Safety Story." Take the pledge to be Strong, Awesome, Friendly and Encouraging to be SAFE. http://www.kycss.org/sswpledge/
