It was a historic day for Paducah Tilghman Softball as the team, surrounded by family, friends, and community partners, cut the ribbon on a new softball complex that will now be the home field for the Lady Tornado Softball Team.

The ribbon cutting was the culmination of a $3.7 million dollar construction project that began in August of last year.

Thanks to everyone who worked to make the vision of a brand new softball stadium a reality! We wish PT Softball the best as they continue their season. If you haven't seen the new stadium yet, come cheer on the Lady Tornado on Tuesday, April 28, at 6:00 p.m. as they play Marshall County!

Paducah Middle Art teacher Dr. Anthony Woodruff visited our regular meeting of the Paducah Board of Education to share the good news that three Paducah Middle students recently received art awards.

At the Kentucky Art Education Association (KyAEA) 2026 All-State Art Show, Chloe Hill (8) won 2nd place and Lena Hundhammer (7) won Best of Show!

Additionally, Lily Jones (7) won the Middle School Division of the Kentucky Education Association's "Difference Makers" contest. Students were asked to create a portrait of a teacher that has made a difference this year, and Lily chose Mr. Howard.

Dr. Woodruff and his students presented portraits of our board members that were created by Dr. Woodruff's art students. Thank you for your creative gifts!

We couldn’t be more proud of our Paducah Middle students! 💙
At the Global Amazing Shake, they didn’t just compete, they represented our school with excellence, character, and heart. Being recognized as the most kind, sweet, and respectful group of kids, out of 144 groups, is a true testament to who they are both on and off the stage.
Way to go, students! You’ve made your school and community incredibly proud. 🌟

Five Paducah Tilghman wrestlers- Ben Hall (12) , Jaylin Bellamy (10), Jordynn Davis (10), Josh Waufle (9), and Rage Henderson (9)- competed in the NHSCA Wrestling Nationals in Virginia Beach, Virgina March 27-29.

Rage Henderson became PT’s first ever national champion in wrestling by winning the 220 pound weight class in the freshman division with a perfect 5-0 record.

"Rage didn’t just win, he was dominant, as he did not allow a single point to be scored against him," said PTHS Wrestling head coach Seth Livingston.
