We are proud to celebrate our September Students of the Month who exemplify the Teamwork attribute of the Profile of a Barren County Trojan! These students understand the importance of serving others through teamwork and collaboration. They work together, support their classmates, listen to others, and contribute positively to our school community. Their willingness to cooperate and help others demonstrates what it means to be a true Trojan! Your teamwork, collaboration, and commitment to helping others make our school stronger!

Fall into donating blood, your donation makes a difference! Behind every unit of blood is a real person: a child in surgery, a mother giving birth, a cancer patient fighting for more time. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor survivors, remember loved ones, and stand with those still fighting. Did you know that many breast cancer patients rely on blood transfusions during their treatment? Chemotherapy and other therapies can lower blood counts, making donated blood a vital part of their care.   Your blood donation can give strength, healing, and hope to someone battling Breast Cancer and many other cancers. By donating blood you’ll join a community of donors helping ensure these patients have the blood they need, when they need it most.

Thank you for helping make our school a place where students and staff can learn, grow, and thrive.

PTO needs your help! They are needing auction items for our Fall Festival on November 14th. If you or your business would be willing and able to make a donation for this event, please reach out to Tabitha Gruber at 270-670-2694. Spread the word. We hope for this to be the best Fall Festival yet!
