WCPS Families, 

Graduation season is one of my favorite times of the year. It is a special opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments, perseverance and growth of our students as they reach an important milestone in their lives. This year, we were proud to congratulate nearly 1,300 Warren County Public Schools seniors as they walked across the stage and received their diplomas. Their hard work and determination have prepared them for the exciting opportunities that lie ahead, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact they will make in our community and beyond.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Briarwood Elementary School, Rockfield Elementary School, and North Warren Elementary School as our newest FranklinCovey Leader in Me Legacy Schools. This distinguished honor recognizes each school’s outstanding commitment to developing leadership in every student and building a culture where students are empowered to lead with confidence and purpose. With this recognition, Warren County Public Schools now boasts 14 Lighthouse Schools and 6 Legacy Schools, more than any other school district in the world.

I would also like to extend my congratulations to our Director of Grants and Community Outreach, Dr. Tracey Young, on being named the recipient of the ATHENA Leadership Award. This distinguished honor recognizes individuals who exemplify outstanding leadership, professional excellence, and a deep commitment to helping others achieve their full potential. Dr. Young’s dedication to expanding opportunities for our students, staff, and families has made a lasting impact across our district and throughout the community. We are grateful for her leadership and proud of this well-deserved recognition.

Warren County Public Schools is excited to provide multiple meal pickups for our students during the months of June and July, along with breakfast and lunch at the School Bus Cafe and school-based sites. The multiple meals may be picked up by parents or guardians on behalf of children 18 or under at the five sites listed on the specified days. Children do not have to be present, although families may be asked to verify their home address, as this impacts future program funding. This service is made possible through USDA waivers that support flexible meal access to students in rural areas. Special thanks to Kelly Holt, Director of Nutrition & Dining, and his outstanding team, who go above and beyond to ensure every child in Warren County has access to tasty and nutritious meals! More information and pre-registration can be found in the flyers below.

If we can ever be of assistance, please feel free to reach out at 270-781-5150 and please take care.

Respectfully,

Rob Clayton

Superintendent
