164 advanced placement exam orders were placed for May testing! That's 164 opportunities for our students to earn college credit--almost 500 hours of course credit. 100 of these exams can result in the kids earning $300 extra KEES dollars that will shave down their college tuition bill EACH YEAR they're in school--that's up to $30,000 for our students every single year! Our kids made a fabulous decision to take their AP exams this spring; a decision that can benefit them for years to come. #MoreOpportunity #HailJC

With the release of JCHS test scores today, we have a lot to celebrate, and we would like to share our biggest gains and accomplishments!
- First, Johnson Central currently has over 300 students on track to earn an Honor’s Diploma (10 Pre-AP/AP/Dual Credit), and of these students who were tested last year, we are proud to announce that our Honor’s Diploma students earned an astounding overall index of 98.5, which is a 5-star performance based on new accountability system. GREAT JOB!
- Second, we are also proud that our junior Honor’s Diploma students (a whopping 60 junior students in this program) averaged a 24.4 on the ACT last year.
- Third, our transition readiness rate, which is the most important factor for students leaving high school and planning to pursue higher education, improved from 45.9 to 71.1 – a gain of approximately 26% in one year. Transition readiness is calculated by examining whether students earn college benchmarks or pass career readiness and industry certification exams.
- Fourth, our on-demand scores were up significantly as we had 144 students whose writings were scored either Distinguished or Proficient.
- Lastly, our graduation rate was up to 96.7%
We at JCHS are extremely proud of our students, staff, and the multitude of programs we offer. We look forward to another great year and even more success from our students.
Students in Principles of Engineering took part in a "Solar Apple Derby" today. Students built and tested cars using different power sources including solar cells, batteries, and hydrogen fuel cells to learn about engineering design, power, and breadboarding. #MoreOpportunities

Johnson Central FFA Officer team, along with Mr. Kirk and Mrs. Blair, had the opportunity to have a “meet and greet” with Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture, Ryan Quarles as he traveled to town for an event. It was great to learn more about Mr. Quarles’ experience in the agriculture field, where the future of agriculture is heading and amazing intern opportunities in the future for students. A huge “Thank You” to JC Board Chair, Mr. Bob Hutchison for inviting us to be a part of this and creating #moreopportunity for our students and FFA officers.
