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

Superintendent Message

May 7, 2025

WCPS Families,

Congratulations to coach Jennifer Brooks and our Warren East Lady Raiders fastpitch softball team who were crowned the 2025 Kentucky 2A State Champions this past weekend in Owensboro! This is an outstanding achievement and as always, thank you to our Lady Raiders for representing the very best of WCPS!

Momentum and excitement is building for the new IMPACT Center for Leadership and Innovation, which is scheduled to open in the Fall of 2026! Dr. Cody Rich has been leading tours of the innovative facility with our community and business/industry leaders over the past couple of months and the reaction has been nothing short of spectacular!  This “first of a kind” learning center for grades 7-12 will offer the following five academies with leadership infused at all levels: AI and Cyber Systems; Robotics and Advanced Systems, Aeronautics, Design, and Enterprise and Visionary Arts, and Biomedical Innovation. Enrollment applications will be available early this Fall and additional information is forthcoming. Stay tuned for our official kick-off video which will feature our collaborative global partners who have been instrumental in the design and development phase of this unique community initiative.   

On April 25, 2025, we proudly welcomed nine exemplary WCPS alumni into the WCPS Hall of Distinguished Alumni. This occasion stands as one of the most significant celebrations within our organization each year, and we thank the nearly 350 in attendance who made the night a memorable occasion for our inductees and all those who attended. This one evening was simply a snapshot of the excellence I observe on a daily basis across our district and I am so thankful to our planning committee who spent countless hours throughout the entire year in preparation for this wonderful event. In addition to highlighting the excellence among our WCPS alumni inductees, WCPS’ Jr. ROTC Color Guard, Strings Ensemble and District Choir showcased their talents in making the night a beautiful evening. All of these student groups were made up of students from each of our four high schools. Special acknowledgement goes to Nadia Jones, an exceptional senior at Greenwood High School, for her kind introduction, and to our WCPS Student Ambassadors for warmly welcoming and guiding our guests to their tables. These students are remarkable representatives of our district and we could not be more proud of them! Should you want to learn more about the 2025 class of WCPS HODA inductees, you can click here

See below for the 2025 graduation schedule as we look forward to honoring more than 1,300 seniors throughout five graduation ceremonies on May 23 & 24. Feel free to join us for part or all of this special weekend as we close out another fantastic school year!

Respectfully,

Rob Clayton

Superintendent
