Spencer County Middle School Shines at the KASA Conference!

Weโ€™re incredibly proud of our SCMS students who gave up part of their summer to showcase the Paxton Patterson Career Exploration Labs at the KASA Conferenceโ€”a statewide event where Kentucky educators gather to learn, lead, and inspire.

Our students represented SCMS with professionalism and pride, sharing the real-world skills they gained this school year. A big thank you to the amazing parents and guardians who helped make this possible by bringing students to the event. Weโ€™re so grateful for your support! A special shoutout to Ms. Gabrie for creating opportunities that push students beyond their comfort zones and into leadership.

We do not go by the bus number itself. In the event of a breakdown or bus switch, the route number is the consistent identifier. Please help your student learn to look for the red number on the white magnet on the front bumper each day.

This week, Spencer County Middle School proudly hosted 37 educators from Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, and Ohio for an inspiring Paxton Patterson Hands-On/Minds-On training! We were excited to host this professional development and be a part of providing career exploration opportunities that empower and inspire students! Paxton Patterson believes students thrive when they collaborate, explore, and take ownership of their learning. Through structured, real-world labs, students work in teams, drive their own progress, and solve meaningful problems. These labs donโ€™t just teach skills they ignite passions.
