 The Bullitt East High School agriculture program is one of the Top 10 in Kentucky.

Agriculture students placed fifth in the writing assessment on end-of-course out of 138 programs across the Commonwealth during the 2013-2014 school year.

Brandon K. Davis, State Supervisor of Agricultural Education for the Kentucky Department of Education, applauded the effort.

 Report cards have been around for as long as schools. 

Many of us still have our old report cards tucked away in a box somewhere and once in a while, we’ll see one dating back many decades and wonder how that child turned out.

 MOUNT WASHINGTON - One Old Mill teacher got to have an “out of this world” experience this summer.

STEAM instructor Richard Cox was chosen to participate in a 5-day course at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala., in June.

Cox spent time each day doing hands-on math and science activities he could later implement in his classroom. But his favorite part was the “space missions.”

 LTC David Walker was the special speaker at the annual North Bullitt JRTOC Veterans Day assembly.
