Rockcastle County Schools extends our sincere thanks to Congressman Andy Barr for taking the time to meet with Superintendent Dr. Carrie Ballinger to learn more about our district and discuss the importance of postsecondary readiness.
During the meeting, Dr. Ballinger shared the innovative work taking place across Rockcastle County Schools and highlighted one of our district's proudest accomplishments—earning the #1 Postsecondary Readiness Rate in Kentucky. This achievement reflects the dedication of our students, educators, staff, families, and community partners and our shared commitment to preparing every student for success beyond graduation.
We appreciate Congressman Barr's interest in the success of our students and the opportunity to showcase the incredible work happening in Rockcastle County Schools as we continue developing Rocket Learners to Rocket Leaders. 🚀
Happy Independence Day from Rockcastle County Schools! 🇺🇸
Today, we celebrate our nation's independence and the freedoms we enjoy. We hope our Rocket families have a safe, fun, and memorable Fourth of July filled with time spent with family and friends.
