Superintendent Message

April 28, 2026

We are extremely proud and honored to congratulate Briarwood Elementary, Rockfield Elementary, and North Warren Elementary on being named our newest FranklinCovey Leader in Me Legacy Schools.

This prestigious recognition reflects each school’s exceptional commitment to fostering leadership development in every student and creating a culture where students are empowered to lead.

With these additions, Warren County Public Schools now has 14 Lighthouse Schools and 6 Legacy Schools—the most of any school district across the globe!

This remarkable achievement is a testament to the dedication of our staff, students, Board of Education and school communities who continue to set the standard for excellence in developing our next generation of effective leaders.

Also, congratulations to our students and sponsors who competed and/or participated in the Governor’s Cup, Kentucky Beta competitions, the STLP State Championship, and school musicals! All across our community and state, we see our students shine every day and we are so proud of our faculty and staff who invest their time and passion in providing these outstanding opportunities for students to showcase their talents, both inside and outside the classroom walls.

With spring here and summer just around the corner, I want to commend our school leaders and staff for all of the preparation leading into the Kentucky Summative Assessment. We look forward to our students representing the very best of Warren County Public Schools by demonstrating their skill and knowledge on the annual state assessment. 

Senior Graduation dates and times have been officially approved and all ceremonies will take place at E.A. Diddle Arena on Western Kentucky University’s campus. See the schedule below as we anxiously await recognizing our 2026 graduates:

• Friday, May 15, 2026 - South Warren High School at 7:00 p.m.
• Saturday, May 16, 2026 - Warren Central High at 9:00 a.m.
• Saturday, May 16, 2026 - Lighthouse/Beacon Academies at noon
• Saturday, May 16, 2026 - Warren East High School at 4:00 p.m.

Speaking of summer, 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 flyer 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
