I have included a link to the Kentucky Emergency Management home page link here, you can call (502) 607-6665 or fill out an online application for emergency assistance by clicking here.
Graduation dates are set for the class of 2025! I am thrilled to commemorate the achievements of our 1,300 seniors as we celebrate their accomplishments and send them off to embark on their next steps in their journey towards future success.

Our latest story is in a two-part feature looking at the inspiring story of Harper Murphy, a student from Rich Pond Elementary who was diagnosed with cancer at the start of the 2024-25 school year. We are thrilled to report that Harper is now cancer-free, and we show you a BIG surprise organized by her school to celebrate her recovery! Watch Part 1 here and Part 2 here.
