Superintendent Message

October 1, 2025

As we welcome the Fall season, we are excited to reflect on the vibrant changes around us and the opportunities that lie ahead for our students and community. We held our first Community Council meeting for the 2025-26 school year at Warren East High School. Since 2013, we have hosted over 40 stakeholder meetings with parent representatives from each of our twenty-three schools. These gatherings serve as invaluable opportunities to engage our parent community as we strive to enhance the overall student experience. Our discussion centered around our three key priorities: Safety, Achievement, and Opportunities. This year, we have made significant strides in safety, including the recent hiring of Josh Hughes as our new SRO Detective. We also shared important updates on legislative matters, early childhood education, the IMPACT Center for Leadership and Innovation, and our current and future district goals.

We would like to extend our congratulations to Greenwood High School and South Warren High School for being ranked among the Top 20 best high schools in the Commonwealth by U.S. News & World Report! Additionally, we celebrate Rich Pond Elementary School for being recognized by the Kentucky Department of Education for best practices at the 2025 Continuous Improvement Summit. Their presentation on "Lead By Letting Go! Building Systems of Shared Leadership" offered valuable strategies for enhancing leadership and teaching effectiveness.

Congratulations to our CFO/COO, Chris McIntyre, for being featured for setting the pace in energy savings. He was featured for WCPS’ efforts to significantly improve energy efficiency and reducing Energy Use Intensity. Please click here to read the full article.

Respectfully,

Rob Clayton
