Hello WCPS Families, 

As we enter the holiday season, WCPS students and staff continue to celebrate several remarkable accomplishments and recognitions this school year. 

Congratulations to Greenwood and South Warren High Schools for being recognized with the National College Success Award by GreatSchools.org, the nation’s leading nonprofit school information site. Now in its sixth year, the recognition honors public high schools that excel at preparing students to enroll and succeed in college!

Three current and former Warren East High School students were featured in a documentary for winning the Lead4change service project! They submitted ChemoComfort, where they made shirts with zippers to help chemotherapy patients easily access their ports. 

This holiday season, WCPS student-athletes need your support to help local families by donating new (unwrapped) toys or sports equipment for children of all ages in our community. Let's come together to make a positive impact! The drive runs from Monday, December 9, to Saturday, December 20, 2024, and you can drop off the toys or sports equipment at WCPS’ middle and high school athletic events.  

Nominations are now being accepted for the 2026 Kentucky Teacher of the Year awards. Any full-time public school teacher in the state with at least three years of experience is eligible. Nominations may be submitted here. Teachers may be nominated by students, parents, teaching peers, principals, superintendents or anyone from the community who has an interest in honoring an outstanding educator.

Nominations are open for the 2025 Class of our Hall of Distinguished Alumni! Each year, the district pays tribute to graduates of Warren County who have distinguished themselves through their professional, civic and/or humanitarian contributions and accomplishments. Click here to nominate an outstanding WCPS graduate! Nominations are due by December 15, 2024. 

Please mark Wednesday, January 15, 5:30 p.m. at South Warren High School on your calendar as we look forward to our annual Martin Luther King Jr. celebration. This event is one of the highlights of our year as we celebrate the life and contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. while showcasing the various talents of many of our WCPS students that help make the event a tremendous success!

Respectfully,

Rob Clayton
