Superintendent Danny Adkins talks about the results from the 15th region Governor’s Cup competition for Floyd County Schools commenting, “Congratulations Floyd Central High School Quick Recall team! We’ve done some checking and learned that it’s been 20 years since a Floyd County Schools’ high school quick recall team has advanced to state level so we are especially proud of this team and their coaches Michelle Martin-Sullivan, Robert Sullivan and Haley Dyer.” Region 15 consists of Betsy Layne HS, Floyd Central HS, Prestonsburg HS, Belfry HS, East Ridge HS, Johnson Central HS, Martin County HS, Paintsville HS, Phelps HS, Piarist HS, Pike County Central HS, Pikeville HS, and Shelby Valley HS. The Kentucky Association for Academic Competition (KAAC) is the governing body for this competition.

Adkins talked about the three individuals going to state having something in common. Adkins says, “While Lindsay Caudill, Kade Scott and Tabitha Mitchell represent different high schools, all three are students in our Floyd County Early College Academy! The program was designed for gifted students who were ready for a modified version of college and these three definitely fit that description.”
Adkins comments, “Congratulations Lindsay, 1st in Language Arts, and Tabitha, 3rd in Composition! Congratulations Kade, 2nd in Arts & Humanities, and tied for 3rd in the state!” Adkins ended saying, “Please join us in wishing the Quick Recall team and these individuals the best of luck at state!” State Governor’s Cup Competition will be March 14-16 at the Galt House in Louisville.

The academy will be 2 Saturdays a month in March, April, May, June, and July at Allen Elementary School 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. These sessions will focus on your child’s development in cognitive, physical, social emotional skills, and school routines.
