RCHS Apprenticeship Program for future LWC students

By Venus Popplewell
LWC Director of PR

Six Russell County High School students will get a head start on their teaching careers because of an apprenticeship opportunity that will fast-track their college education.

Anna Gosser, Emma Grider, Amy McGowan, Saturn Taryn Walsh, Leah White and Emma Wilson, juniors and seniors from Russell County High School, attended a signing ceremony at Lindsey Wilson College on Friday to become a part of an apprenticeship program that will pay high school students to work under a mentor teacher while taking dual credit courses at LWC. The agreement, funded by the Wilderness Education Project, allows students to use their apprenticeship hours toward their student teaching hours - fulfilling the requirement necessary for college graduation.

"The students will begin taking dual credit education courses in the teaching pathway through RCHS and Lindsey Wilson," said LWC Director of Education Jennifer Antoniotti-Neal. "After they graduate, they will enroll in LWC's education program. Because the required student teaching hours will have already been completed in the apprenticeship program, students who sign up for this program will graduate from college early."

RCHS is one of only six schools in the state of Kentucky to receive the grant from the Wilderness Education Project and LWC is the first private school to offer apprenticeship opportunities as credit toward a degree.

Some Adair Co. voters getting new precincts

From Lisa Greer
Adair County Clerk

The Adair County Clerk's Office is currently in the process of updating precinct lines to reflect changes in the Magisterial lines resulting from Reapportionment following the 2020 Census. This process is currently underway, and voters will need to know their new precinct for the May 2024 primary.

Voters that have precinct changes will receive two articles of notification in the mail: a postcard from the State Board of Elections and a letter from the Adair County Clerk's Office. The letter will have the new precinct and location of precinct for the voter.

Letters are being sent out weekly to voters, and roughly 600 Adair County voters will see changes to their voting precinct.

If you have any questions, please feel free to give Nadalie Inscho, Chief Election Deputy, or me a call at 270-384-2801, an email at Nadalie.Inscho@ky.gov or Lisa.Greer@ky.gov, or come in to the Adair County Clerk's Office at 424 Public Square, Ste3, Columbia, during normal business hours.
