It’s the first day of classes for several area school districts, including Hardin County Schools.
“We are tremendously excited to welcome our more than 14,000 students into our school buildings this year,” said HCS Community Relations Specialist John Wright. “It’s going to be a fun year, a year full of opportunities for our students to excel at every level – elementary and preschool through middle school to high school. Our students will receive lots of dual credit hours, they’ll receive extracurricular opportunities, and opportunities to learn in new and exciting ways.”
The district is encouraging students to be a #HCSDifferenceMaker, based on the five competencies in the district’s portrait of a learner.
“We look at things like being a responsible citizen, a personal champion, an engaged learner, an effective communicator, and an active collaborator,” Wright said. “Those are the things that we are really focusing on for our students this year, and really hoping that they understand it. It takes all those things, all those competencies, to succeed not only in school, but in life.”
Wright says the ultimate goal is to help students succeed.
“We want our students to be the best they can be when they walk across that graduation stage at the end of their senior year,” Wright said.
