Huge congratulations to Johnson Central High School freshmen Jaxon Sturgill and Aiden Watts on being accepted into the Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) Medical Academy! 🎉🩺 Out of over 120 applicants across the region, Jaxon and Aiden were chosen for an exclusive cohort of just 60 students. Through this program, they will gain incredible real-world exposure to the healthcare field by observing live surgeries in operating rooms, practicing techniques in hands-on clinical skills labs, directly job-shadowing doctors and surgeons, and receiving direct mentorship from seasoned medical professionals. This is such an exciting opportunity for these hardworking students to begin exploring medical careers so early in high school. Johnson County is immensely proud of Jaxon and Aiden for earning a place in this competitive program—we know you will represent the Golden Eagles with distinction, and we can't wait to watch your futures unfold! 🦅💙✨ #JCProud #EaglePride #JohnsonCentral #FutureDoctors #PMCMedicalAcademy #FutureInHealthcare

Kona!

Through ongoing communication with Carissa’s parents, and in honoring their wishes for their daughter, the Johnson County School District asks our entire community to unite in support of her family.

We invite all students, staff, and community members to wear pink on Monday, August 17. Pink was Carissa’s favorite color, and wearing it together will serve as a symbol of our shared love, unity, and support.

Per her parents' wishes, all district schools—including Johnson County Middle School—will be in session on Monday. District flags will fly at half-staff in Carissa’s honor, and counselors and school psychologists will continue to be available in our schools to support our students and staff.

Please continue to keep Carissa’s family, friends, and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this heartbreaking time.
