Bright smiles, friendships, new experiences, and fun!
At Grant County Schools, learning is about so much more than assessments and scores. It’s about giving students opportunities to explore, take ownership, build relationships, try new things, and grow socially, emotionally, and academically.
From hands-on learning to time spent with friends, these moments are an important part of the school experience. We love seeing our students learning, growing, and—of course—smiling throughout the school day!
School is so much more than a classroom!

October is Digital Citizenship Month. Each week, we will share important reminders about keeping you and your family safe in the digital world.
This week, Grant County Schools is focusing on Protecting Your Digital Identity as part of our Think. Protect. Connect. – Digital Citizenship Month 2026 campaign.
💡 DID YOU KNOW?
Consumers reported losing more than $12.5 BILLION to fraud in 2024. Reported losses increased 25% in just one year.
Passwords and personal information are the keys to our digital lives. Talk with your child about protecting information such as passwords, verification codes, full name and birthday, home address, phone number, school information, current location, and personal photos.
Remind children that passwords and verification codes should never be shared with friends—even close friends.
This is also a great opportunity to talk about online scams. If a message says something is an emergency, offers something that seems too good to be true, or pressures your child to click immediately, encourage them to: STOP. THINK. VERIFY.
Continue the conversation at home with your children using the
Family Conversation Starter:
“What information about you should never be shared with someone online?”

Our seniors are ready to share their stories—and we’re looking for community members to listen!
Each year, Grant County High School seniors complete a Senior Defense of Learning, reflecting on their educational journey and demonstrating how they have grown through the Grant County Schools SUCCEED Profile.
At the end of October, our seniors will present their defenses to panels made up of school staff and community members—and we would love to have you at the table!
Community volunteers help score student presentations while getting a firsthand look at the growth, accomplishments, and future plans of the Class of 2027.
Interested in volunteering? Learn more about Senior Defenses of Learning and sign up to serve on a panel:

Learning happens everywhere at Grant County Schools!
We love seeing our students getting involved—whether they’re participating in extracurricular activities or exploring hands-on learning in the new Paxton Lab. Through these experiences, students are building skills that extend far beyond the classroom: teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, confidence, and determination.
Every experience is another opportunity to learn, grow, and discover what they can do.

Next week, Grant County Schools is joining schools across Kentucky in celebrating All In for Agriculture Education Week!
Why are we participating? Because agriculture education is about much more than farming. It gives students opportunities to connect what they are learning in the classroom to real-world skills, careers, food, science, technology, and the communities around them.
Throughout the week, students will have opportunities to participate in activities that bring agriculture into different areas of learning while having a little fun along the way! The statewide initiative encourages hands-on lessons, community engagement, and standards-based learning across subject areas.
For Grant County Schools, Ag Grow Crazy Week is another opportunity to help our students see that learning extends beyond the classroom—and to celebrate an industry that plays an important role in Kentucky and our local community.
