The Portrait of a Rocket continues to guide our work at Rockcastle County Schools, showing how every student can learn, lead, and soar. Rooted in The Leader in Me framework and aligned with Kentucky’s Portrait of a Learner, it reflects the qualities we aim to build in all Rockets—resilience, responsibility, communication, collaboration, innovation, and critical thinking. 🚀
