Paducah Tilghman High School

Parents and Guardians, As we begin our fall sports seasons, please be reminded that all students from kindergarten through 8th grade, regardless of school district, must be accompanied by an adult at all PPS school and athletic events. Students from kindergarten through 8th grade will not be admitted to games without an adult in attendance. Thank you for working with us to keep the safety of our students and fans a top priority. We look forward to seeing you this fall. Go Big Blue!

With the heat outside we are extra thankful for the brand-new indoor practice facility at Paducah Head Start. It is an indoor play space for our Head Start students during the school day, and an indoor practice facility for our high school students after school!

Tomorrow is such a big day for our Assistant Superintendent, we're getting an early start celebrating. Please join us in wishing Mr. Will Black a very happy birthday! Mr. Black is always proud of our district students. We hope you enjoy seeing them perform as much as we know he will. Happy "Golden" Birthday, Mr. Black! https://youtu.be/hYnpRKO51rc
