From whole grains and fresh fruit to protein-packed options, our breakfast helps students power up for the school day ahead!

As a reminder, school will be back in session Monday, February 2. We're looking forward to see our students tomorrow!
School continues tomorrow, Friday, January 30, using non-traditional instruction (NTI). A NTI day does not change the school calendar. The last day for students is still Thursday, May 21, as scheduled.
The only activity that remains as scheduled for Friday is the Paducah Tilghman High School Varsity Boys and Girls Basketball games at McCracken County High School. MCHS says parking lots and sidewalks will be cleared. Fans and student families should use their best judgement when deciding to attend the game.
