Paducah Head Start Preschool

If you drive by the new Paducah Head Start construction near Paducah Tilghman, you can see the structural steel that is being installed for a multipurpose gymnasium and indoor practice facility. The gym will serve our Head Start students during the school day, and then our athletic teams will use it as an indoor training facility after school hours.

Paducah Public Schools will be closed on Thursday, February 2. There will be no in-person instruction; it will be an NTI Day. While schools will be closed, students are expected to follow their school's NTI Day plan and complete their assignments as provided to them by their teachers.

Paducah Head Start Preschool received the WKCTC Guarantee Community Connections Service Award at a ceremony at WKCTC on December 15, along with the Family Resource Centers at all the schools and the Paducah Innovation Hub. Paducah Head Start Preschool director Kristy Lewis, McNabb Elementary principal Teresa Spann, and McNabb Elementary Family Resource Center director Toya Benberry attended the ceremony/press conference. Two years ago, WKCTC received a very generous gift from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, with a focus on enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion at our college and in our communities. In April of 2021, The WKCTC Guarantee was established, which provided direct financial support and scholarship allotment to organizations working to increase educational opportunities for minority populations, low-income individuals, and others who have faced barriers to education, and to enhance collaborations with community organizations who serve vulnerable populations. As part of The WKCTC Guarantee initiative, additional Community Connections Service Awards will be presented to selected organizations on the two year anniversary of the original gift.
