Breckinridge County School District Superintendent Dr. Nick Carter says the 2024-2025 school year, which wrapped up with graduation last Saturday, had its challenges, but the students, faculty, staff, and families pushed through.
One such challenge was weather, including storms that resulted in flooding and one of the more chaotic winters in recent years.
“It’s really hard when you have winters like this because you miss some school here and there and it’s really hard to get into the flow and really get that rhythm going, whenever you’re in for a few days and you’re out for a day or two or you’re out for a week, and so I’m just really proud of our students and proud of all of our staff for working really hard through those winter runs to give as much normalcy to our students as possible,” Carter said.
Carter said district students continue to see growth in reading and math, and the district has worked hard to make their schools a place students are excited to be.
“I’m super proud of our school’s efforts to really focus in on that school experience for our students,” Carter said. “We’re really dedicated to making sure that our kids not only have a great academic achievement experience in the district, but we want them to have a terrific school experience, and be involved in clubs and extracurriculars and those types of opportunities.”
Carter said heading into the 2025-2026 school year, the district is focused on continuing to improve curriculum, instruction, and student experiences, and he says he is excited with the district’s trajectory.
“There’s a lot of great things going on in the district,” Carter said. “We are hoping to break ground on a brand new middle school next year., and that’s a multi-year project, but there’s been a lot of work. We’ve been working on a middle school project since 2021, and so next school year we’ll be breaking ground on that.”
Today is the first day of the district’s summer feeding program. Visit the Breckinridge County School District Facebook page to find more information and the link to register.
