JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADING TRYOUT INFORMATION

Greenup Schools will dismiss at noon today 4/11/24 for impending storms predicted to have 50MPH winds and cause flooding.

COLLEAGUE CREDIT Mr. Mike Doran shares that the principals at Wurtland Middle School, Brandi Litteral and Melissa Bowling, have a whole-person approach to education and wellness. They go well out of their ways to make certain that everyone in the building is educated and nurtured, not just according to Kentucky Department of Education standards. They work to make certain that personal interests and career options are considered and that creativity, curiosity, and senses of expression are also being fed in wholesome and meaningful ways. They are why Wurtland Middle School is an awesome place to teach and to learn!
