👋 FRESHMAN PARENT UPDATE: UPCOMING CLASSROOM VISITS 👋

Heads up, Class of 2029 Families!

The Counseling Department will be dropping in on freshman classes soon to have a heart-to-heart with students about finishing their first year strong. We know the transition to high school is big, so we will be spending time reviewing exactly what it takes to be successful as we head toward the Second Semester.

Here is the "Big 3" we will be covering with your students:

✅ The Grade Formula: We will review how the 75% Mastery / 25% Engagement split works. (Reminder: Doing homework is great, but they must master the test material to pass!)

✅ Eligibility (KHSAA Rules): We will explain the strict rules for athletes, band members, and club participants:

The Weekly Rule: If a student is failing 2 or more classes in a single week, they are ineligible to participate/play for that week.

The Yearly Rule: If a student fails their Freshman year, they are ineligible for the ENTIRE Sophomore year.

✅ Resources: We will make sure every student knows how to use BOCO time and when to attend after-school tutoring (Tues/Thurs) if they are falling behind.

🗣️ PARENT HOMEWORK: Check in with your freshman after our visit! Now is the perfect time to check Infinite Campus together and make a plan for the rest of the year.

Let’s work together to make sure they are ready to be Sophomores! 🎓🚀

Bourbon County High School is RISING! 📈🔥
Our latest accountability results show growth in 5 of 6 major indicators, including big jumps in Reading & Math and Science, Social Studies, and Writing. Our students, staff, and community continue to raise the Maroon and Gold Standard and prove what’s possible when we run our race with purpose.

We’re proud of this progress—and we're not done yet.
Great job, Colonels. Let’s keep pushing forward! 🐎✨

We are excited to share the nominees submitted through our public link for Bourbon County Schools Prominent Alumni. Members of our community helped us identify former Colonels who have made a meaningful impact in their professions, service, and communities. These individuals reflect the Maroon and Gold Standard and show what it means to Run Your Race far beyond BCHS.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a name. Your input helps us honor the legacy, pride, and accomplishments of our Colonel Family as we build a collective list of distinguished alumni.
