Congratulations on the ribbon, Drakes Creek!

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Congratulations are in order for a local school here in our area, Drakes Creek Middle School was named a 2023 Blue Ribbon school earlier last month, one of five in the entire state.

A blue ribbon is given to a school to highlight their overall academic excellence or show their progress toward closing the achievement gap and so today, Drakes Creek Middle School got to cut out of class a couple hours early to celebrate – and hear a few words from Superintendent Rob Clayton and State Representative Kevin Jackson.

The entire district is proud of the designation, especially the middle school’s principal who was recently promoted to the district’s Director of Secondary Instruction.

As a reward today, the kids were treated to some Italian ice and a big dance party on the football field.
