National School Psychology Week celebrates the contributions of school psychologists and the important role they play in schools and communities helping children thrive.
This year's theme, “Finding Your Path”, recognizes the ways that school psychologists take an active role in helping everyone in their communities determine paths to learning, growth, and overall well-being that meet their unique needs. We are deeply grateful for all the ways both big and small that Ms. Byrd and Mrs Seig help our students thrive in school, at home, and in life!

Bobby L. Jones was a 1973 Paducah Tilghman graduate and former school board member and chairman. While serving on the board of education in 2002, Mr. Jones had the original idea of having students serve as future board members so they could see the process and learn how to become a board member. After he passed away in 2004, our board named the program after Mr. Jones as a fitting memorial. Our Family Resource Service Coordinators work together to assist the board and have worked to see that it has continued in his name.
