Summary
Assistant Superintendent Marybeth Huss reported a projected 99.33% graduation rate for the 2026 cohort, highlighted CTE gains and industry-certification success, and described a Trades NKY partnership that will provide $50,000 per middle school to start construction-trades courses.
Assistant Superintendent Marybeth Huss told the annual report meeting the district projects a true graduation rate of 99.33% for the 2026 cohort and described college- and career-readiness efforts including CTE industry certifications and regional partnerships.
Huss said the graduating cohort held a 19 ACT composite (super score) and that juniors across the state took the SAT this year; sophomores took the PSAT 10. She highlighted CTE outcomes — the district outperformed the state on CTE-OP assessments by 11.92% and saw pass-rate increases — and noted 76 students earned associate degrees and the district reported $22,000,000 in scholarship funds for the year.
On workforce pathways, Huss described a new partnership with Trades NKY, which ran a construction-trades club this year (about 85 students) and provided partnerships with multiple local contractors. She said each middle school will receive $50,000 in resources to stand up construction-trade courses and the district will offer six sections for 8th graders across middle schools.
