LIFT After School Programming
February 3-6
The Johnson County School District is closed today due to downed trees, heavy rain, and ongoing rainfall expected throughout the day. Stay safe!
Flat Gap students and faculty have studied, "The Dot," this week!
It is a simple story with an important message for all of us.
We must be brave, make our mark, and encourage others on life's journey.

Flat Gap Elementary and The Family Resource and Youth Services Centers Coalition of Kentucky are pleased to announce that FGES 5th Grade student CALEB SHORT has been selected as a FRYSCKy’s Legislative Page. The 2025 FRYSC Legislative Page Days is an amazing opportunity where Caleb will have a real life civics lesson by being an active participant in the House or Senate chamber during a session of the 2025 KY General Assembly in Frankfort. Caleb was chosen from a large pool of applicants because of his proven leadership, excellent work ethic, and commitment to his academic work.
