Regional Eastern KY TeachMeet – July 20
Johnson County School District is proud to host Eastern KY TeachMeet at Porter Elementary on July 20!
This regional event brings educators together from across Eastern Kentucky for a day of learning, collaboration, and sharing best practices. Sessions are quick-hitting 20-minute presentations, allowing participants to choose topics that matter most to their classrooms and students.
We encourage educators from Johnson County and surrounding districts to attend—and consider presenting. This is a great opportunity to showcase the strong instructional work happening across our region while learning from one another.
Let’s come together to strengthen our practice, share ideas, and support student success across Eastern Kentucky.
We hope to see you there!
This year’s theme, “The Power of Nurses,” is reflected in the care and support our school nurses provide each day, ensuring students are healthy, present, and ready to learn.
Thank you for all you do for our Golden Eagles.
Johnson Central High School has been cleared by law enforcement. Students and staff have returned to the building and are resuming instruction.
While this incident has been identified as part of a nationwide prank, we will remain on a soft lockdown for the remainder of the day out of an abundance of caution. Law enforcement will remain on-site. We ask parents to please allow their children to stay and complete the instructional day.
We greatly appreciate the swift coordination of the Paintsville City Police and Fire Departments, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department, the Kentucky State Police, and the Johnson County Schools Campus Police. Thank you for your continued patience and support.
