Driving a bus full of students isn’t just a job…it’s a daily adventure. Early mornings, tight turns, and a whole lot of personalities behind you. And while our drivers are behind the wheel, it takes an entire transportation department to keep things moving, from routes to repairs and everything in between. Thank you for showing up every day with patience and care. You’re often the first smile our students see and the last goodbye of the day, and we’re grateful for each of you.

Last week, we recognized Dewayne Miller at the Board of Education meeting as he retires from his role as athletic trainer for Barren County Schools.
For the past 30 years, Dewayne has been an integral part of Barren County High School athletics, making a lasting impact on our athletes, coaches, and families. He has spent countless hours at practices and games, always going above and beyond to keep our athletes safe and help them get back in action.
While he is retiring from BC Schools, he is not retiring from his career in physical therapy.
Thank you, Dewayne, for your dedication and commitment to BCHS athletics. We wish you the very best!
