Two Christian County High School students have been named members of the Class of 2021 Governor’s Scholars Program.
Communications Director John Rittenhouse with the Christian County School District announced Thursday afternoon that Autumn Bell and Jada Poindexter were selected for the program. Statewide, he says almost 1,700 applications submitted by outstanding young Kentuckians.
The Governor’s Scholars Program strives to enhance Kentucky’s next generation of civic and economic leaders. The program that was established in 1983 provides academic and personal growth through the balance of a strong liberal arts program with a full co-curricular and residential life experience. Those selected attend free of charge.
Christian County Public Schools announced Thursday that it will return to in-person instruction on Tuesday, Jan. 19. The district was previously scheduled to return to in-person instruction two weeks ago but moved the date due to the spike in COVID-19 cases in the county.
At the time of the decision to remain in NTI, Jennie Stuart Health was at maximum capacity. The district cited the hospitals current capacity â back down to normal wintertime numbers â as one reason that it is returning in-person.
The district currently has 21 staff members and 25 in-person students with active virus cases. Those individuals are in quarantine.
District staff have also started receiving the vaccine this week.
Christian County Public Schools announced Friday that it will extend non-traditional instruction through next week.
The district referred to three factors in its decision: Jennie Stuart Health is currently at its capacity limit for patients, CCPS staff currently have 82 positive COVID-19 cases or are in quarantine and the âdramatic increase in the number of positive cases in our community.â
District teachers will continue working from their school buildings while facilitating online instruction.
Sports will resume practice Monday, Jan. 11, but games will not take place until after Jan. 15.
âParents and (g)uardians please remember, each school is maintaining its regular meal schedule during NTI.â CCPS Communications Director John Rittenhouse said in a statement. âSchools will distribute (three)-meal bundles daily from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.â
