At the October 15th Board of Education meeting, we were proud to recognize the Grant County Schools School Resource Officers with the Spirit of Excellence Award for their unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of our students and staff.
At the beginning of the school year, our SRO team faced the challenge of two vacant positions. Rathan than allowing those vacancies to impact the safety and security of our schools, our officers stepped up, adjusted their schedules, and worked together to ensure that every school had the coverage and support it needed each day.
Their willingness to go above and beyond reflects not only their dedication to their profession but also their genuine care for the students, staff, and families they serve.
With our SRO team now fully staffed, we also wanted to recognize the Grant County Sheriff's Office -KY for its continued partnership and commitment to providing skilled, knowledgeable, and dedicated officers to our schools.
Our School Resource Officers are more than a safety presence in our buildings. They are mentors, trusted adults, and valued members of our school communities. Their relationships with students and staff help create environments where students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.
We say thank you to each of our School Resource Officers for their service, flexibility, teamwork, and dedication to Grant County Schools.
It was our honor to recognize Officer Blake, Officer Smith, Officer Handy, Sheriff Switzer, Officer Phillips, Officer Poynter, and Officer Jones with the Spirit of Excellence Award.
