College and Career Experiential Learning Experiences for our High School Students this Past Year Alone

Superintendent Message

April 1, 2025

WCPS Families,

We are passionate about investing in our students and witnessing their remarkable growth. If you know a high school senior interested in college scholarships, becoming a teacher, and joining the WCPS team after graduation for at least three years, they can submit a Class of 2025 WCPS Aspiring Teacher-Scholars Application by Wednesday, April 16, to be considered for an exciting opportunity to pursue teacher certification and interview for a certified teaching position with WCPS upon graduation.

Through our Grow Your Own (GYO) initiative and partnership with Western Kentucky University (WKU), WCPS is offering tuition assistance to selected candidates who enroll at WKU, declare an education-related major, and gain acceptance into the School of Teacher Education to earn a bachelor’s degree in teaching. Each semester, WCPS will cover one-third of their tuition; WKU will cover another third; and the student will pay the remaining third. If the student chooses to enroll at another Kentucky university, WCPS will provide $350 per course toward tuition. For more GYO details, visit bit.ly/WCPSGYO

Graduation dates are set for the class of 2025! It won’t be long before we have the opportunity to commemorate the achievements of our 1,300 seniors throughout five graduation ceremonies during the weekend of May 23 & 24. Graduation weekend is truly the highlight of the year for our Board members and myself as we send our graduates off to make a difference in our world through their own individual journeys.  

Respectfully,

Rob Clayton

Superintendent
