Our Tornado Wrestling Team traveled to Campbellsville for the 2A State Dual Championship. On the way to the finals the team defeated Boyd County, Wayne County, and Harrison County. We faced #1 seed Johnson Central in the finals and they came to battle. It went down to the last match with an overtime takedown and the Tornado wrestlers emerged triumphant! It was truly a team effort! Final Score: Tilghman 34 - Johnson Central 30

Paducah Tilghman High School received a upgrade to its HVAC system this past summer as part of a Guaranteed Energy Savings Project (GESP) that was executed by Ascendant Facility Partners. Here's a link to a project overview by Ascendant that gets into the nuts and bolts the GESP. https://ascendantfacilitypartners.com/employee-spotlight/project-overview-paducah-tilghman-high-school/ We appreciate what Chad Jezik, our director of operations, had to say about the ultimate goal of the project: “The point of working with a GESC like Ascendant Facility Partners isn’t just to save money. The energy savings we achieve will allow the district to spend more money on its students. All their work on our facility is meant to free up resources that would otherwise be allocated to operations, which don’t immediately impact our kids. We don’t want to be efficient to save money; we want to be efficient so we have an abundance of time and energy for our young people.”
