It was a wonderful night to celebrate the work of our faculty and staff at the 9th Annual Regional Educators Awards and Scholarship Program at West Kentucky Community and Technical College last night! With 31 "Top 20" nominees, four finalists, and two winners, Paducah Public Schools were well represented on the stage. It was also gratifying to see Doris Benberry, who taught for 37 years for Paducah Schools, receive a President's Award!
It's great weather, so let's get together!
