The Campbell County Schools Board Meeting held on December 18, 2023, showcased significant developments and achievements within the district, particularly highlighting the progress at Campbell County High School (CCHS). The meeting began with a presentation from CCHS, where the principal outlined the school's mission to foster a safe and supportive learning environment.

A key focus of the presentation was the school's performance metrics, which indicated a mixed outcome. While the school received an orange rating in math and reading, it celebrated improvements in post-secondary readiness and maintained a high graduation rate, with every student enrolled last year successfully graduating. The principal emphasized the importance of trauma-informed practices in classrooms, noting that over 94% of students felt supported by their teachers.

The school has identified areas for improvement, particularly for students with disabilities and in math and writing scores. To address these challenges, CCHS has implemented several strategies, including enhanced collaboration among teachers and regular professional learning community meetings. The school aims to ensure that all students are prepared for life after high school, with initiatives like Project Destination, which connects students with local businesses and post-secondary institutions for career readiness.

In addition to academic discussions, the meeting recognized outstanding student achievements. CCHS football players Dylan Shulkers and Nathan Smith were honored for their selection to the Northern Kentucky top 26 team, while various elementary and middle school students were acknowledged for their participation in the Northern Kentucky fifth-grade honor choir and for winning championships in middle school football.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to continuous improvement and student success, with plans for ongoing support and development in both academic and extracurricular areas. The board's next steps will likely involve monitoring the implementation of the discussed strategies and celebrating further student achievements in the future.
