Assistant Principals Week was last week- during Spring Break- but we don't want to let that stop us from celebrating the steady, tireless work that our assistant principals do each day to help our students achieve their potential. Take a moment today to say "thanks" to an assistant principal for their efforts!

He was selected from among eight Good Citizen chapters in the district competition and advanced to the state level competition.

The Good Citizens Award and Scholarship Contest, created in 1934, is intended to encourage and reward the qualities of good citizenship. This award recognizes and rewards high school seniors who possess the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism in their homes, schools, and communities. These students are selected because they demonstrate these qualities to an outstanding degree. Scholarships are awarded to winners at the chapter, state, division, and national levels.

We couldn’t be more proud of our Paducah Middle students! 💙
At the Global Amazing Shake, they didn’t just compete, they represented our school with excellence, character, and heart. Being recognized as the most kind, sweet, and respectful group of kids, out of 144 groups, is a true testament to who they are both on and off the stage.
Way to go, students! You’ve made your school and community incredibly proud. 🌟

Five Paducah Tilghman wrestlers- Ben Hall (12) , Jaylin Bellamy (10), Jordynn Davis (10), Josh Waufle (9), and Rage Henderson (9)- competed in the NHSCA Wrestling Nationals in Virginia Beach, Virgina March 27-29.

Rage Henderson became PT’s first ever national champion in wrestling by winning the 220 pound weight class in the freshman division with a perfect 5-0 record.

"Rage didn’t just win, he was dominant, as he did not allow a single point to be scored against him," said PTHS Wrestling head coach Seth Livingston.

The best thing about Paducah Public Schools is our students. It’s why we had them front and center at new teacher recruiting fairs today! Paducah Tilghman High School freshmen and sophomores joined our great faculty and staff to talk Tornado with the teachers of tomorrow. We had a crew at Murray State University and another in Bowling Green meeting Western Kentucky University grads. Exceptional educators are heading our way thanks to our hype squads. Go Big Blue!
