Greenup County School District -

December 4-9 athletic schedule! ALL games are listed, with home games framed in neon! #BelieveInGC

Holocaust survivor Alice Dreifuss Goldstein visited GC today to speak to our students. You always hope that students realize what a great privilege an experience like this is, and their response to Alice said it all! Look at the students lined up to talk to her and get their books signed. Special thanks to Mr. Alvey for arranging this incredible visit, as well as the yearbook students who took photos! #BelieveInGC

Today GC’s school resource officers talked to students about “teens and the law,” as a part of the Musketeer 101 program. Attempting to reach GC’s new and soon-to-be drivers, our officers covered safe driving, interacting with police officers, and DUI related topics. “We hope that our talks make students think twice about their decisions when driving… we hope they heard something today that they’ll remember,” the officers said. Thank you Chief Kearns and Officer Gollihue for doing their part to protect and serve GC students! #BelieveInGC

Home games this week in GC!! Basketball season is underway! Let’s go, Greenup!! #BelieveInGC

Friday was a very special day! While celebrating the Marine Corps birthday, Superintendent Moresea officially proclaimed GC to be a Purple Heart School District. It's a gesture to honor our military and soldiers wounded in combat. We were joined by Mr. Joseph Steele, who represented the Military Order of the Purple Heart. Mr. Steele is a community member, Veteran, and Purple Heart recipient who brought this gesture to our attention. Our JROTC cadets did an absolutely fantastic job at performing the ceremony for the Marine Corps birthday, and the student body in attendance made us proud by showing the utmost respect for it all. #BelieveInGC

Tonight!!! Don't miss the high school's Musketeer Showcase! Students will be showcasing the arts, vocational skills, class projects, and more!! Tonight (Thursday) from 5:00-7:00! #BelieveInGC

This is awesome! High school students from our ATC (Area Technical Center) visited elementary students and you could see the light bulbs coming on! There were lots of smiles, and ALL of the students shared a great experience! We love seeing our students interacting and leading the way! #BelieveInGC

This Friday we will hold a ceremony officially proclaiming GC a “Purple Heart School District.” A local veteran and Purple Heart recipient brought this gesture to our attention, and we didn’t hesitate to proceed. It is a way we can show our appreciation for GC’s military heritage and wounded veterans. We will also be celebrating the Marine Corps birthday, as our JROTC is a Marine Corps JROTC. We deeply value our JROTC program and all it does for student character. We invite any veterans, Purple Heart recipients, and their families to join us at GCHS at 2:00 on Friday, November 17. #BelieveInGC

This is hard to believe!! Did you know that there are 44 GC busses that drive 2,800 miles PER DAY? For reference, that is from Greenup County to Los Angeles with enough miles left over to backtrack to Tucson, Arizona! It cumulated to over a half million miles last year alone. Thank you to Mr. Fletcher (Dir. of Transportation) and our amazing bus drivers for all the miles they travel to make sure GC students get to school each day! #BelieveInGC

How COOL?! This snow plow was designed and painted by GC students! Kentucky Transportation just picked it up, and it’ll be used this season right here in our area! Great job Audrey Hall, Gabe Cox, and Madison Allen! Be on the lookout this winter! #BelieveInGC

Here is the information for each school’s Veterans Day ceremony, for any veterans and families who would like to attend! Our deepest appreciation goes out to our veterans! #BelieveInGC

Reminder — Greenup County Schools will be closed on Tuesday, November 7 in observance of Election Day.

Another GC teacher with accolades to celebrate! Congrats to Tiffany Boggs for being named an "Innovative Teacher Fellow" by KDE's Innovative Learning Network! As KDE (Kentucky Department of Education) states, "There are many schools and districts in Kentucky implementing learner-centered practices and trailblazing innovative strategies. At the heart of these practices are the teachers who guide, build relationships with, and support Kentucky’s students." Way to go, Tiffany Boggs! #BelieveInGC

We’re wrapping up National School Principals Month, and we want to take a moment to thank our amazing principals! With so many moving parts involved in running a school, they work incredibly hard for the benefit of our students! Thank you, GC principals! #BelieveInGC

You never know how far a child’s idea can go!! Students in Ms. Armstrong’s classes are coming up with solutions to problems that resonate with them! In this PBL (Project Based Learning) activity, students work in a group to identify a problem, brainstorm solutions, and create a way to help solve that problem. For example, one group wants to create a phone app to help solve a problem. They presented their ideas to various adults who volunteered to give them feedback to drive their solutions. It was engaging enough that the volunteers didn’t want to leave!! #BelieveInGC

🎁🎄Holiday assistance!🎄🎁 Please help us spread the word about holiday assistance that may be available for families of GC students! Please note that applications are due by November 3rd! Thank you to our amazing Family Resource Youth Service Centers! #BelieveInGC

On Friday, October 20, Wurtland Elementary (WES) and Wurtland Middle (WMS) will be participating in a safety simulation in conjunction with the Greenup County Public Safety agency. While the entire simulation will take place between 8am-1pm, the Wurtland schools will only be participating for around 20 minutes. In this simulation, various community agencies will collaborate to increase our community's preparedness for a potential hazardous material incident. If you see a large number of emergency vehicles at Wurtland Elementary and Middle on Friday morning, please remember that this is for their participation in the simulation. Again this is only a simulation for the sake of our community's safety and preparedness, and we look forward to contributing. A copy of the press release from Greenup County Public Safety is pictured here in case you should have any further questions.
