PCHS Announce 2016 Governor’s Scholar Nominees
Pendleton County High School announces that six juniors have been selected as our nominees to the 2016 Kentucky Governor’s Scholar Program (GSP). This year’s nominees are: R. Ammerman, A. Booth, H. Hart, A. Hicks, S. Longworth, and M. Sydnor. These students will now be in competition with other students from across the commonwealth for one of the approximately 1,000 places in the 2016 summer program.
The Governor’s Scholars Program is a stimulating, five-week, residential summer program for outstanding Kentucky students completing their junior year in high school. Established in 1983, the popular program provides academic and personal growth in a challenging, non-traditional experience that balances a strong liberal arts program with a full co-curricular and residential life.
The Governor’s Scholar Program competition is open to all juniors. It is highly competitive in nature and involves a lengthy application process. The students are selected based on multiple criteria that include academic record, ACT or PSAT test scores, personal essay, student resume that includes activities as well as demonstrated leadership and service.

In January, the newly-formed PCHS Library RATs (that is, Readers and Thinkers) will meet once a week after school starting on January 21. Anyone may participate—this is not a club, but a book event--and each week will include a new activity that goes along with the book. The events will last no later than 4:30. The first book that we will focus the psychological thriller Complicit by Stephanie Kuehn. Sign up for that event and any others you want to attend in the library. Each book will have a new activity associated with it.
Last day to purchase a yearbook for the 2015-2016 school year is Friday, April 8, 2016.

Volunteers play an important role at Pendleton County Schools, whether a person assists a teacher with getting materials ready for class, attending a field trip, working one on one with students they are all essential. As a result of KRS 161.148/KRS161.044: All parent volunteers that provide direct supervision of students must participate in a volunteer training (as designated by each district) and submit for a criminal record check. In Pendleton County the following is required:
1) Completion of volunteer handbook:
a. Handbooks are available from each school secretary, Bus Garage and online at www.pendleton.kyschools.us

application form, Page 2 is the Participation Statement which includes the understanding about confidentiality
and Page 3 is the Criminal Record Check form

the district list which is distributed to school secretaries. A letter from the Superintendent is forthcoming that
