A huge thank you to Whitaker Bank for their generous support in providing new scoreboards for the Garrard Education Center, where our Garrard Middle School students play basketball and volleyball. We are grateful for your commitment to our community and our students!
We are thrilled to announce the creation of the Garrard County Schools Hall of Fame, honoring alumni who have demonstrated excellence in Academics, Career, Arts & Humanities, Athletics, or Public Service. Nominations are now open and can be submitted from September 1st to November 30th. Nomination forms can be submitted electronically using the link below or a hard copy form can be completed at the Garrard County Board of Education office. To be eligible, nominees must either be retired from Garrard County Schools (no active employees) or have graduated at least five years ago (no current students). A selection committee will review all nominations and inductees will be announced in March, followed by a Hall of Fame Banquet in April to celebrate their achievements. This is a wonderful opportunity to recognize those who have made a lasting impact on our schools and community.
