Spencer County Community;

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 don’t 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 are excited to welcome our Cubs back tomorrow on Tuesday, October 21st! This month is Principal Appreciation Month, let's show our appreciation to Mr. Scott!

🎉🥤 Cheers to Leveling Up! 🥤🎉 Students in Ms. Abell’s and Ms. Mooney’s classes celebrated their hard work in Lexia at the “Level-Up Drink Lounge”! 💻📚💪 They enjoyed a special drink to toast their reading success and dedication! 🐻✨ These Cubs are true Empowered Learners — setting goals, putting in the effort, and celebrating their growth along the way. 🌟🙌 At SCES, we Love. Learn. Lead. — one level at a time! 💙📖🎯

🍎👩‍🍳 Apples + Science = Sweet Learning! 👩‍🍳🍎 Mrs. Mac’s class has been exploring the life cycle of an apple in science, and what better way to wrap up their learning than by making homemade applesauce together! 🥣🍏✨ Students measured, mixed, and followed each step of the recipe — showing off their skills as Active Collaborators and Problem Solvers along the way. 🙌🐻💡 At SCES, we Love. Learn. Lead. with curiosity and a sprinkle of fun! 💙📚🍎
