We are proud to announce that Morgan Elementary’s music teacher, Ms. Liberty Guyette, has been named the KMEA Elementary Music Teacher of the Year! Ms. Guyette is a first year teacher and a Tilghman alumnus, which makes her honor especially noteworthy.

This honor is well deserved. In her first year of teaching, Ms. Liberty has done an incredible job engaging students and helping them fall in love with music. Her classes are active and meaningful, with students learning music theory, playing instruments, and singing.

She orchestrated a wonderful K–3 Christmas program and led students 4/5 students in "Willy Wonka Kids", in partnership with Market House Theater. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure all students can participate, even adapting instruments to meet their needs.

Ms. Liberty’s passion for music and dedication to her students shine through in everything she does. She has been an amazing addition to Morgan Elementary, and it’s no surprise that KMEA recognized her as Elementary Music Teacher of the Year.

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!

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. 🌟
