Breckinridge County Schools Superintendent Dr. Nick Carter says a productive summer has him excited for the 2025-2026 school year.
“We’ve had a great summer,” Carter said. “It’s been a busy summer, but the momentum that I feel right now in our district is just amazing. We just wrapped up our opening day breakfast ceremony at Breckinridge County High School, and the staff’s so excited and fired up to be back.”
As BCS gets ready for the first day of school on August 11, Carter is reminding area drivers to be safe around school buses. He encourages any families that have issues with their student’s bus route to inform the district.
“I’m always appreciative of our community,” Carter said. “They’re always so patient with us. It’s a big county. Our buses travel over 4,500 miles a day, and sometimes it takes a few days into the school year before we start really getting it down and making sure that we’re at those bus stops at the same time frame every morning.”
As the school year gets under way, Carter says the district is focusing on instructional efforts as students continue to grow following the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Our goal is to take that even another step further and continue to work to address those areas for learning loss, where kids suffered so much learning loss, particularly mathematics during the at-home learning stage of pandemic, so we’re going to be very focused on engagement and instruction,” Carter said.
