Rockcastle County Schools

Today and every day, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country. This Veterans Day, we’re proud to recognize the veterans who continue their service right here within Rockcastle County Schools — shaping the lives of our students with the same dedication, integrity, and courage that defined their time in uniform.
Thank you, Veterans, for your service and for continuing to make a difference in our schools and community. 🇺🇸

For 25 years, Kenna’s Kitchen has served as a beautiful reminder of how one person’s love can continue to touch countless lives.

Founded in memory of Kenna Lanham, this annual Community Thanksgiving Meal has become a cherished Rockcastle County tradition — filling plates and hearts with gratitude, kindness, and connection. ❤️

Students across the district continue to honor Kenna’s legacy through their annual food collections, reminding us that gratitude grows strongest when we serve others. 🫶🏼
