We are dealing with a Water Main break on Highway 44 that has affected both SCES and SCMS. Unfortunately, the repair may be prolonged and we donโt feel that having school for a full day is possible. As a result, we will be dismissing early today, Tuesday, October 21, 2025.
We will release at the following times:
Spencer County High School, Hillview Academy, and Spencer County Middle School will release at 1:00 PM
Spencer County Elementary School, Taylorsville Elementary School, and Preschool will release at 2:15 PM.
All after school programs at SCES and SCMS will be cancelled.
Please know this is a last resort and we apologize for any inconvenience caused to our families and our community.
Best,
Dr. Willie Foster, Superintendent

We would like to thank Miss Kentucky, Ariana Rodriguez, for speaking to our students today about her experiences with homelessness and the foster care system, as well as the importance of the agriculture industry. Her story of how she overcame her circumstances to become successful is a powerful one, and we know that it impacted many of our students, several of whom are experiencing similar circumstances.

One Community, One Heart, and One Mission:
For the past couple of days, Engineering students from the 3D printing class have been working together with ECE students from across the hallway. All five aspects of the Profile of a Learner were visible. While exhibiting their active collaborator and effective communicator skills, the 3D printing students began by asking the ECE students what they wanted them to 3D print as a gift for each of them. Then the 3D printing students had to display their problem-solving skills in order to design various items like a train, basketball, keychain, heart, and even a Yoda head in the CAD software. At the of the project, the Engineering students were definitely empowered learners who are engaged citizens. Thank you for Kim Hahn, Debbie Hardin, Donna LaFear, Tonya Bentley, and Rachel Coleman for letting your students come to Engineering class. Every student left with a new friend and a greater appreciation for the power of 3D printing!
