Last week, we recognized Dewayne Miller at the Board of Education meeting as he retires from his role as athletic trainer for Barren County Schools.

For the past 30 years, Dewayne has been an integral part of Barren County High School athletics, making a lasting impact on our athletes, coaches, and families. He has spent countless hours at practices and games, always going above and beyond to keep our athletes safe and help them get back in action.

While he is retiring from BC Schools, he is not retiring from his career in physical therapy.

Thank you, Dewayne, for your dedication and commitment to BCHS athletics. We wish you the very best!

Barren County Schools is growing opportunities for our students in a big way!

We’re proud to share that our district has been awarded a $123,000 Farm to School grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This investment will expand hands-on learning through agriculture, including new greenhouses, garden spaces, and expanded nutrition programs for our students.

From growing their own food to learning real-world skills, this is another way we’re helping students become life-ready!
