Barren County School District

Happy Substitute Teacher Appreciation Day!

Today we celebrate the incredible substitute teachers who step in to keep learning moving forward in Barren County Schools. Our classrooms run smoothly because of YOU, and we are so grateful for the support you provide to our students and staff.

BC Schools is also now hiring substitute teachers! If you enjoy working with students and want to make a meaningful difference in our schools, we would love to have you join our team.

Students from the Temple Hill Help Desk are hard at work continuing their Chromebook repair training! This teamwork between Temple Hill Elementary and our District Tech Office is giving real-world opportunities to STLP HelpDesk students in grades 3–6. These students can already replace screens, keyboards, trackpads, batteries, and more, which allows many Chromebook issues to be repaired right at school! We’re proud of the hands-on skills they’re building and the confidence that comes with solving real tech problems. Great job, STLP!
