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!
