Principal without a school: WCMS principal prepares way for students

Some people had questions when the Webster County school district hired a middle school principal more than a year before the middle school would be opened, but since arriving on campus, Geoff Bailey has been hard at work paving the way for the 2014-2015 school year.

Bailey’s office in the middle school administration suite is nothing more than four bare concrete walls without a ceiling. For the time being he has been assigned to a conference room three doors down from the high school office. His new school now sits six feet away from his “office” behind a temporary wall, still four to five months away from looking anything like a school.

College to Career Ready

The following is the fifth in a series of monthly articles from Webster County High School regarding efforts to help students earn the distinction of College and/or Career Ready, which is a key component of the Kentucky Department of Education’s “Unbridled Learning” accountability initiative aimed at producing graduates that are better prepared for the rigor of college-level coursework and the increasing demands of the world of work and a global economy.  This month’s focus is College Financial Aid.

As we move past the mid-point of the 2013/2014 school year, thoughts begin turning toward “next year.”  While our faculty and underclassmen at WCHS will think in terms of the next high school year, many of our seniors have begun the process of determining which college they will attend, what academic majors they will declare, with whom they will live, and how they will pay their tuition, room and board, textbooks and other expenses that go along with continuing their education after high school.
