The Kentucky Directors of Pupil Personnel have designated Wednesday September 13 as statewide “High Attendance Day” to emphasize that consistent attendance is essential for success in school. Paducah Public Schools are working hard on improving our district wide attendance, because we know that students who are at school on time have a higher success rate than those who aren't.
On High Attendance Day, Kentucky’s public elementary, middle and high schools may compete in small-school or large-school categories. Six winners will be determined statewide based on each individual school’s performance, regardless of its district’s showing. The school in each category with the highest percentage attendance for September 13 will receive a minimum $500. If the school has more than 500 students, the award will increase based on enrollment.
Tornado Family,
We appreciate your attendance at Paducah Tilghman High School athletic events and your support of our student athletes. Our fall sports teams have had a great start highlighted by the Tornado Football victory over Mayfield to move to 3-0 on the season and a #4 ranking in the state.
Moving forward we plan to implement a new policy with an emphasis on supervision and admission to games. This new policy will apply to all athletic events:
All students from kindergarten through 8th grade, regardless of school district, must be accompanied by an adult at all school/athletic events. Students from kindergarten through 8th grade will not be admitted without an adult in attendance.
We are also introducing a new app called Eventlink, where you will be able to find games, practices, and events for all members of our Paducah Tilghman family. You can download the app, create an account, and pick which school and athletic calendars you want to follow. We encourage you to get involved in this new and exciting way to be a part of PTHS Athletics. Click here for more information on how to create an account from your phone or your desktop computer.
Go Big Blue!
Jay Burgett, Athletic Director
