Communication

To put those ideas into action, students worked in teams to

Corbin High School freshman Julia Butler was elected Speaker of the House at a 1,000-student mock government conference, with a delegation of just 11.

For a preschool student, the school day begins long before they walk through the classroom door. It begins when they climb onto the bus. For many of our youngest Redhounds, Ronnie Prewitt is the first familiar face they see each morning—and the last one they see before heading home. As a preschool bus driver, Ronnie understands that his job is about much more than getting students safely from one place to another. It is about making connections. Ronnie was recently recognized
