The Scott County Schools Board of Education meeting held on February 13, 2024, highlighted the achievements of local music educators and their impact on students. The meeting began with a celebration of the contributions of choir directors John D. Ferrero from Scott County High School and Lauren Church from Great Crossing High School. Both educators have significantly expanded their music programs, with Ferrero's program growing from 64 to 92 students and Church's core program serving 90 students.

Ferrero, who has been at Scott County High since 2022, expressed pride in continuing the legacy of choral music in Georgetown. His program includes various ensembles and has recently collaborated with the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. Church, a graduate of Scott County High, has been teaching at Great Crossing for two years and emphasizes inspiring students to create meaningful music.

The meeting also acknowledged the collaborative efforts of Ferrero and Church in producing exceptional concerts and fostering a love for the arts among students. Their work has been well-received by the community, with many residents recognizing the accomplishments of their students.

In addition to the music program highlights, the meeting included public comments from Mr. Davis, who provided updates on the positive atmosphere among teachers and staff in the district. He noted the success of a recent concert held by Emily Adams, a new music teacher at Southern Elementary, which featured a choir of fourth and fifth graders.

Overall, the meeting underscored the importance of music education in Scott County Schools and the dedication of its educators to nurturing student talent and community engagement.
