Monday is Rocket Learners to Rocket Leaders Day! 🌟
Dress for your future by wearing something that represents who you’re learning to become — a career, leadership role, college, trade, or passion.
At Rockcastle County Schools, we believe every Rocket Learner is growing into a Rocket Leader. Let’s start the week strong and show off those future goals!

From Rocket Learners to Rocket Leaders, we’re proud to celebrate the power of public education in Rockcastle County!
Join the fun and show your Rocket Pride! 🚀
#LoveKYPublicSchools,
Today, our Rockcastle County Schools team proudly wore gold in honor of Raven — celebrating her strength, courage, and incredible victory.
From Rocket Learners to Rocket Leaders, we show up for one another — and today, we shine GOLD.
This habit directly connects to our Portrait of a Rocket by strengthening the skills of an Effective Communicator, Active Collaborator, Innovative Leader, and Responsible Citizen.
When our Rocket Learners listen with empathy and speak with respect, they build stronger relationships, value diverse perspectives, and help create a caring, connected school community.
Let’s lead with understanding and continue growing from Rocket Learners to Rocket Leaders!
Tomorrow, 2/18, we’re wearing gold or yellow for Raven!
Let’s shine bright and show our support across Rockcastle County Schools. ✨
Every lesson learned and every goal achieved moves us closer to becoming Rocket Leaders. 🚀
Today, our entire district showed up for Henry Bray, one of our MVES students, by wearing blue and raising awareness for Angelman Syndrome.
Congratulations to Mr. Peyton Pugh, Rockcastle Middle School science teacher, on being named the 2025 National Educator of the Year by the National Wild Turkey Federation! 🦃🌱
