Spencer County Community;
Our area is set for an impactful Winter weather event over the weekend. Please know that all activities for the weekend are cancelled. We will handle the impact of the weather on school for next week each evening. Our goal will be to make a decision for each day on the evening prior to a school day. This event is forecasted to have a heavy snowfall, icing, and prolonged temperatures below freezing. All of that will have a significant impact on operations.
As always, our goal is to ensure that families and our community receive timely and accurate information during events such as this.
Today, we are conducting a comprehensive test of our communication system to ensure that we are ready and that there are no issues. This test will include phone calls, text messages, emails, and app notifications. The same message will also be pushed to any/all Spencer County Schools social media platforms. The goal of our communication test is to verify that our systems are functioning correctly and that your contact information is accurate and up to date.
To help us ensure a seamless communication experience for everyone, we kindly ask that you take a few moments to do the following:
Update Your Information: Whenever you change your phone number or email address, please call your child's school or the district office to update your contact information. We can't reach you if our records aren't accurate!
Keep Your SC Schools App Updated: Please make sure the SC Schools app is installed and regularly UPDATED on your device and that notifications are turned ON. This is one of the fastest ways we will communicate important information.
Let Us Know If You Didn't Receive It: If you did not receive this message as a phone call, text, email, and app notification, please let us know so we can help resolve the issue for you. You can contact Mr. Cameron Chesser: cameron.chesser@spencer.kyschools.us or Ms. Patti Lancaster: patti.lancaster@spencer.kyschools.us. They will be happy to correct any problem!
Be safe, stay warm, and stay healthy.
Best,
Dr. Willie Foster,
Superintendent

We've got another round of seniors to celebrate on this frigid Tuesday morning! Best of luck to these students with their future plans!
Mrs. Combs and 40 Engineering students represented Spencer County High School today at TSA Regionals at the University of Louisville. Each one of these students did an amazing job. We find out the official results later today, but we know for sure the drone team won 1st place and flew way past the other schools. Spencer County students are the best! Way to lead in a technical world. Go Bears!

Reminder: Spencer County Schools will be closed on Monday, January 19, 2026, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

We had a blast today closing out the semester with a celebration for our students. Our band and choir put on incredible performances and then we had a chance to give out some prizes to our kids! Thanks to our PTSO, local businesses, and community members, we were able to give out gift cards, speakers, and even AirPods! We are so proud of all the academic work that our students put in and weโre so grateful to have the chance to reward them! As our matching shirts say, โWe donโt just wear blue, we earn it!โ We hope you all have an amazing break, and we cant wait to see everyone back in January!
On our last Monday of the semester, we have four more students who've decided what comes next after high school. Congrats to all!

Senior Engineering students from SCHS spent the day at the University of Kentucky sharing their Senior Engineering projects with professors and industry representatives. The seniors work all year on their Engineering projects in hopes to receive college credit for completing the rigors of the Transition to Engineering coursework. The 25 SCHS senior Engineering students did an amazing job representing SC as there were over 325 students in attendance today from 24 different schools from across the state. We were proud to wear the blue and represent SC! Go Bears!
Earlier this week, the SCHS Y Club attended the Kentucky Youth Assembly conference in Louisville. KYA is a two-day mock legislature full of debate, in which SCHS students performed well! Haylee Jamison was voted "Outstanding Delegate" and Claire Ballard and Buck Murphy received the "Outstanding Commonwealth Bill" award, meaning theirs was the best bill presented at the conference. Congratulations to all of these students for representing our school with pride!
