Rockfield Elementary School honored as Leader in Me Legacy School
ROCKFIELD, Ky. – Rockfield Elementary School received a prestigious award, making it one of only of a few schools in the nation to be honored.
The school was recognized on Monday as a ‘Leader in Me’ Legacy School, an award given to schools that focus on student leadership, growth and a positive learning environment.
Congressman Brett Guthrie spoke during the celebration and announced the school’s accomplishment would be entered into the congressional record.
Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman also praised the students’ hard work and emphasized the importance of strong support systems to help students succeed and grow as leaders.
“It really does take a village. And that’s what leader and me to just young people, that leading means that it’s not just about you. It’s about helping others. And in doing that, that’s how you become a leader. And that was evident today. It was on full display. And this also spans generations. You know, the very first principal of Rock Hill was here today. And I just think that that speaks volumes, not just about the award today, but about the tradition that Rockfield Elementary has really embraced.” Coleman said.
With the recognition of Rockfield Elementary, Warren County Public Schools is now home to the most amount of legacy schools recognized in a single district.
