Thanks to your generosity, 4825 pounds of food was given to the Christmas in the Park School Challenge, which was sponsored by Paducah Power System. In the large school category, Paducah Tilghman collected 5.723 pounds of food per student, finishing in second place behind Concord Elementary's 6.151 pounds of food per student. We appreciate the efforts of Mr. Nantz, who coordinates the food drive each year. When we work together, everyone wins!

More than 1.4 million students are members of NHS. Membership in local NHS chapters is an honor bestowed upon a student by a faculty council and is based upon the four pillars of the NHS: scholarship, character, leadership, and service.

Together, we build! Last week's victory celebration was a reminder of how necessary collective effort is to achieve great things. Beyond the efforts of the players and coaches on the field, so many community partners, family, friends, and alumni supported, encouraged, and gave of their time and money to achieve the goal of a state championship. Thank you! (Photo credits: Audrey Pullen, Communications Intern)

Together, we build a brighter future! At last night's board meeting we celebrated the swearing-in of our incredible Board of Education members Dr. James Hudson, Janice Howard, and Dr. Carl LeBuhn.
