Trigg County Public Schools (TCPS) is empowering the Next Generation with world class knowledge, skills and dispositions essential for success. The vision of TCPS is to empower each student to thrive, compete and excel in an ever changing world. There are five core values that serve as the foundation for TCPS: Mastery Learning, Personalized Learning, Authentic Learning, Continuous Improvement, and Relationships.
face to face & online
Mastery Learning is a commitment to support ALL students in mastering world class knowledge and skills. It includes regular ongoing formative assessment by teachers and high quality corrective instruction (interventions). Personalized Learning is a commitment to be learner centered allowing for student voice. Pacing is driven by individual student needs, tailored to learning preferences, and customized to the specific interest of different learners. Authentic Learning is a commitment to immerse students in authentic and meaningful applications of the world class knowledge and skills with a variety of assignments, projects, tasks, experiences, and assessments. Authentic learning connects what students are taught in school to real-world issues and problems. Continuous Improvement is a commitment to excellence which requires us to embrace a growth mindset that encompasses ongoing learning, reflection, risk taking, and innovation for students and staff. Relationships is a commitment to know and be known as demonstrated through trusting interactions, investing time, and taking a personal interest with and among students, teachers, and community members to ensure every individual feels valued. Located in the heart of Cadiz, Trigg County Public School students enjoy unique learning opportunities with all schools on one campus. The school system of almost 2,100 students consists of a High School, Middle School, Intermediate School and Primary School. Local officials have made a commitment to maintain a modern and safe educational environment for the students of
Trigg County.
In February 2014, Trigg County Public Schools was named a District of Innovation by the Kentucky Board of Education, making it one of only seven districts in the state to receive that designation. A team of educators and students have been working for the past couple years to plan and implement innovative practices to transform the learning environment. Each school in the district has been actively involved in the process and piloted/implemented select innovative practices. The foundational premise of the District’s application is Competency Based Learning. A competency based approach ensures that learning remains constant, though the method of instruction and the amount of instructional time may vary in order to ensure that learning occurs. Not only does the district focus on the core academic standards, but the district believes it must strategically and intentionally help students master 21st Century Competencies such as communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking and problem solving. Teachers throughout the district are successfully incorporating technology into their daily instructional activities. Studentgenerated presentations, brochures, newsletters, and multimedia projects are a few examples of how technology is being infused into the classroom. LCD projectors, interactive boards, digital cameras, laptops and stationary computers are all being used to enhance instruction. With an emphasis on 21st Century skills of communication and collaboration, students have multiple opportunities to integrate technology skills into their learning on a daily basis.
Although the system’s focus is on academics, career and technical education, gifted education, special education and preschool; after-school programs, sports and other extra-curricular activities abound to help students grow socially, physically and emotionally. Trigg County students receive local, state and national recognition in academics and extra-curricular activities. Trigg County Primary School will prepare our students for 21st Century. The addition of the Next Generation Learners Initiative plan using problem based learning, personalized learning and standard based grading
will ensure our students will be prepared for the future. As our parents, students, community and school work together and learn together, all dreams are possible.
Trigg County Intermediate School is committed to educating all students academically and socially by providing them with diverse learning opportunities to help them become independent learners. Using the Kentucky Common Core Academic Standards, the third, fourth and fifth grade teams implement ideas and instruction that complement the primary program. Students are provided extracurricular activities including academic team competitions, choir, drama, and sports, including a nationally recognized archery team.
Students in Trigg County Middle School are provided with academic classes in reading, English, math, science and social studies. They are also provided exploratory classes which address arts, humanities, and practical living. Extended classes in math and reading along with special
Trigg County Primary and Intermediate Schools are located on the campus block, right next to the Wildcat gym on Main Street in Cadiz.
needs programs, extended school services (ESS) and Gifted and Talented programs are provided. Students also have the opportunity to participate in Annual Staff, Academic Team, archery, band, softball, baseball, football, basketball, soccer, track, and cross country.
Although a small, rural school, Trigg County High School offers its students opportunities generally found in larger school systems. Opportunities are offered through the arts, career, vocational and pre-college courses including pre-engineering, health services, business/marketing, agriculture, family and consumer science, and information technology. Through collaborative agreements with Hopkinsville Community College and Murray State University, TCHS students have multiple opportunities to receive college credit while enrolled in high school.

Trigg County Hospital will provide quality health care services in a caring and cost effective manner.
Trigg County Hospital is a 25-bed critical access facility located near beautiful Lake Barkley and scenic Land Between the Lakes. The hospital opened its doors to the citizens and visitors of Trigg County and the surrounding area on April 22, 1952. That day, Former Kentucky Governor, Lawrence Wetherby, made a statement that still very much describes Trigg County Hospital to this day: “There are larger hospitals in the world, but none more efficient or beautiful.”
With each passing year, Trigg County Hospital deepens its commitment to service by keeping abreast of advance -
ments in health care. Technological improvements as well as expanded services enable TCH to better serve its community. The vision is to be the place of choice for health care and through unceasing diligence, staff strive to make that vision a reality each and every day.

The Trigg County Country Ham Festival is a Cadiz tradition almost beloved as Christmas.
Each year during the second weekend of October, Main Street is closed to traffic for two days of fun, music and food. The sides of the sidewalks are lined with booths reserved by local businesses, civic groups, clubs and food vendors. The week kicks off Monday with an annual breakfast at Cadiz Baptist Church annex; carnival rides begin Wednesday evening in Riverfront Park, and the festival itself starts Friday morning and lasts through Saturday afternoon.
All this hullabaloo is to celebrate the Trigg County tradition of curing and smoking country ham. It began in 1976 as part of Farm City Week, and the first official Ham Festival was held the following year. Since that time, the word has gotten out and the crowds have grown.

wiches, gyros, bloomin’ onions and lemon shakeups, the kids can have a great time at the carnival attraction. They’ll find plenty to do there with a variety of carnival games and rides. In some years, kids can come see several pig races, in which pigs are let loose on a small, hay-covered track and race in a circle to get their reward: an Oreo cookie.
Another popular event for kids is the Money in the Haystack event, which is on Friday morning. Children of about five different age groups line up for the event, desperate for chance to throw themselves into the hay and grab some cash. Kids also love the petting zoo, which has goats, mules and llamas that they can feed. Many ham festival participants also look forward to
the arts and crafts and cooking competitions. The most important one to the festival is, of course, the ham contest on Saturday morning. Some local farmers begin preparing for the next year as soon as the festival ends, and each one has his or her own unique recipe for an original, home-cured ham. A hamsmoking expert usually acts as a guest judge.
Another yearly tradition is the giant country ham and biscuit. Each year, a group volunteers to mix and bake the biscuit, which is more than 10 feet long and is said to weigh more than 700 pounds after it is topped with Broadbent’s country ham. The biscuit reportedly contains 150 pounds of flour, nine gallons of buttermilk, six pounds of sugar, two-and-a-half gallons of water, four cups of salt, three cups of yeast and one cup of soda.
Speaking of ham, for the few years, ham cured by 4-H students have been auctioned off for charity. Owners of Broadbent’s B&B Food Products assist the middle and high school students by showing them how to cure them and then they are smoked in the Broadbent’s smokehouses. The operation moved from Trigg to Lyon County in recent years, but the program continues. Students in other surrounding counties are also invited to participate.
As for music, performers can be found on the downtown Renaissance Stage throughout most of the weekend, and a headlining performer takes the stage on Friday and Saturday night. Other performers include regional and local acts.
This year’s event — the 40th annual — will also see the re-emergence of the sand sculpture and the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall will
set up just outside of the festivities, near the school system on Main Street.

Each year, the Cadiz Lions Club hosts an Easter Egg Hunt in the Riverfront (West Cadiz) Park. The hunt is dedicated in memory of Bill Abel, who was an instrumental leader of the project.
In 2003, several communities along U.S. 68 in Kentucky joined in an effort for a statewide yard sale. This year, over 60 communities, including Cadiz and several nearby towns, will continue the event the first weekend of June.
The event is sponsored locally by the Cadiz-Trigg County Tourist and Convention Commission.
The Cadiz Rotary Club has a long history of supporting youth and senior citizens in Trigg County. Almost all of the club’s funding for activities throughout the year comes from its annual radio auction, which is broadcast by WKDZ 106.5 FM.
Rotary held its 44th annual auction in 2012 and set a new record by raising over $208,000, surpassing its goal of $200,000.
The auction spans an entire week and features several hundred items of all kinds.
On the first weekend in June each year, the Main Street Program sponsors Take Kids Fishing Day at Riverfront (West Cadiz) Park. The event allows a chance for family members to accompany children on a fishing experience they’ll never forget.
Trigg County held its 19th annual Relay for Life in
2016. The American Cancer Society sponsors Relays all across the country as a way to raise money and support for cancer research and those who are diagnosed with and survivors of cancer.
Residents of Cadiz and Trigg County are well-known for their generosity, and Relay serves as a prime ex-
ample of that.
Trigg County Relay earned national awards, including: No. 1 in the Nation per capita for population 10,000-14,999 in 1999, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007; Top 10 Nationwide Community in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008; MidSouth Division awards: No. 1 per capita for population 10,000-14,999 – 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008; Top 25 Relays Per Capita: Community Excellence Awards: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Trigg County may be small, but it has a big heart. Just ask anyone in the community whose life has been touched by cancer.
The Cadiz Spring Fling, held the first weekend in May, is an event that features artisans and craft makers from around the region. Vendors set up booths, which must consist of handmade or handcrafted goods, along Main Street in Cadiz.
The event has grown since its inception five years ago to include a military appreciation component. Vendor fees are donated to a veterans or military organization. Last year’s event helped purchase service
dogs for veterans programs helping those suffering with PTSD.
The Spring Fling falls on derby weekend, which also brings out a number of other activities to Cadiz, including the Amazing Family Challenge — an event devoted to getting families out to participate in good, fun, physical activities — the Cadiz Cruz-In, the Seven Friends Golf Tournament and the Blue Heron Derby Hat paqrade.
The Cadiz Cruz In, held the first Saturday of every month from 5 – 8 p.m., is basically an event where people show off their cars/trucks/ motorcycles on Main Street in downtown Cadiz. People talk and look at vehicles, and there’s usually music, games and food.
The event has taken on new life this year, as well. Reva Anderson,
owner of Reva’s Place and new lead organizer for the Cadiz Cruz-In, lined up a number of activities for the summertime event, including a watermelon ball, square dance, patriotic day, downtown merchants scavenger hunt, prizes for participants and more. According to Anderson, it’s not so much about business as it is
about preserving beloved memories.
“It’s the family atmosphere,” Anderson said. “It brings back my childhood memories, and that’s why I just didn’t want to see it end.”
The Cruz-In will conclude the 2016 season Sept. 3 with a full-blown car show.

On December 1, 1964, the Kentucky Parks System added Lake Barkley to the list of Kentucky’s state parks. The Secretary of the Army had approved the leasing of 1,800 acres of land along the shores of Lake Barkley for a public park and recreation facility. The state purchased 1,400 acres of surrounding land for a total of 3,200 acres.
Presently, the park has 3,600 acres. The U.S. Corps of Engineers constructed the earth and concrete dam completing it in July 1966. The dam and reservoir are part of a comprehensive plan for flood control and the development of water resources along the Cumberland River.
Lake Barkley covers 58,000 surface acres and is a part of the vast “Land Between the Lakes” development area that includes 170,000 acres located on a peninsula between Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake. The area has more than 1,004 miles of shoreline.
World-class Lake Barkley lodge, designed by Edward Durrell Stone, provides a lake view from the private balconies of most of the 120 rooms and four suites.
Open year-round, rooms available by late afternoon. Check-out by noon. AAA 3-Diamond rating. Pet-friendly rooms are available.
The park also boasts cottages, ample campground ar-
eas, a 331-seat restaurant with panoramic and scenic views of the lake, the 18hole Boots Randolph Golf Course, a fitness center (with indoor swimming, exercise equipment, racquetball, tennis and basketball courts), a marina and more.
West Cadiz Park has a grassy field with trees, a playground, several picnic tables, an open-air shelter with tables and a grill and a restroom, and has been used for several activities, including a carnival and other attractions during the Trigg County Ham Festival. The park hosts an annual Easter Egg Hunt and Take
Kids Fishing Day, among other activities. West Cadiz Park is located on Jefferson Street in Cadiz, near the intersection of Jefferson and Hamilton streets.
The Trigg County Recre -
ation Complex has lighted baseball and softball fields, playgrounds, a tractor pull track and a horse show ring. The complex is also used for festivals and competitions,as well as the annual Agriculture Appreciation dinner.
The Recreation Complex
is located at 303 Complex Road, just off of Highway 139 north of Cadiz. The phone number is 270498-8218.
The Yellow Train Stop at the Trigg County Historical Park features a little taste of local history and a nice place for visitors to stop for a bit, rest and enjoy a picnic. Located on Hopkinsville Road near Wildcat Chevrolet in Cadiz, the stop also features the Boots Randolph Log Cabin and One-room schoolhouse museum. There’s a shaded picnic table area on the grounds, and a dog-walk area for the fourlegged family members, as well.

Janice Mason Art Museum
71 Main Street, Cadiz 270- 522-9056
The Janice Mason Art Museum has grown from a vision of three people, who saw the opportunity to purchase the old Cadiz Post Office building on Main Street and turn it into an arts center. An organizational meeting was held on April 7, 1998, and a vision became a reality when the Cadiz Community Arts Center was established. Since that time, Janice Mason Art Museum, the visual arts component of the Cadiz Community Arts Center, has been an anchor for the downtown revitalization program, Renaissance on Main. The historic, Colonial Revival, WPA era building, which houses the museum, was constructed in 1940. Restoration on the facility was begun immediately after the building was purchased with monies pledged by the community and a generous gift from former local resident, Janice Mason.
The wide range of exhibits and activities at JMAM has established the museum as an important and viable presence in the community and region. Visitors to the museum
can view nine to ten exhibits per year. Past exhibits have included a lifetime retrospective of the work of West Kentucky sculpture artist, Steven Shields; a world-class exhibit of American contemporary artists including original work by Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Chuck Close; an astonishing array of Bhutanese art; and shows featuring local and regional artists.
Every year on the same day as the Cadiz/Trigg County Christmas Parade, the Festival of Trees exhibit opens. Trees of many different styles and motifs are created by local civic
groups, businesses, families, and other organizations. Parade goers can visit the museum to enjoy refreshments, view the unique Christmas trees, and really get into the holiday spirit.
Each year, the museum also hosts an art show featuring works of students from the four local schools. The Primary and Intermediate Art Show are generally in January while the Middle
and High Schools are generally in February and/or March.
Because the museum believes that leaning never ends, JMAM has established a successful program of adult and children’s classes and workshops at the museum. Popular adult classes include pottery, stained glass, watercolor, and drawing. Each summer, JMAM offers a wide variety of chil -
dren’s art activities during the “Jumping July” program, which runs throughout the month of July. Details of all the available classes can be found by going to the museum’s web site www. jmam.org, or by calling the museum at 270-522-9056.
JMAM is governed by a board of directors and staffed by two part-time employees. Volunteers from the RSVP program staff the museum on the weekends, enabling the facility to be opened six days a week – Tuesday through Sunday. Admission to the museum is free so JMAM must rely on membership dues, donations, fund raising activities and events, and financial support and grants from other organizations. Each year the museum receives a small operating grant from the Kentucky Arts Council, and the local Rotary Club has provided some funding for young people’s art activities.
Each year on the Saturday preceding Valentine’s Day, the museum sponsors
“A Chocolate Affair,” an elegant evening of chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. The event, which is held at the Victorian Fairholme on Main Street, features live music and chocolate creations donated by museum members and other chocolate “artists.”
Another popular fund-raiser is the annual themed spring dinner-dance at Lake Barkley Convention Center, where attendees are treated to a nice meal, dancing, and the opportunity to bid in a silent auction.
The museum also maintains a museum gift shop which sells a wide variety of interesting items from jewelry to pottery to original art pieces. The emphasis in the gift shop is on items that are created by Kentucky artists.
The performance component of the Cadiz Community Arts Center is the Southern Kentucky Independent Theatre. From the beginning of the Cadiz Community Arts Center in 1998, a long-range goal in its strategic plan
was to eventually add a performance arts component. During the summers of 2006 and 2007, that goal neared completion as Janice Mason Arts Museum partnered with Trigg County schools, local businesses, and parents to present three community theatre productions, Seussical, The Wiz, and Dining With the Dearly Departed. These productions were made possible in part through a two-year grant from the Kentucky Arts Council. Based on the success of these productions and the expressed interest from the community, the Southern Kentucky Independent Theatre joined the Cadiz Community Arts Center in 2008 as the performing arts organization.
Southern Kentucky Independent Theatre, or SKIT, was incorporated in 1981 as a regional theatre serving Christian, Trigg, Todd, Caldwell counties and other surrounding areas. SKIT’s first performance was in August of 1981 for the annual Thomas
– Bridges Association meeting. During the past 29 years, SKIT has produced many theatre performances and theatre camps in Trigg and Christian counties. It has an established reputation for varied, quality productions and a long-standing place in the theatre community of the area.
SKIT operates as a partner, but as a separate branch of the Cadiz Community Arts Center and maintains its own operations and finances under the direction of a performing arts committee.
Since joining the Cadiz Community Arts Center, SKIT has produced the musical version of Alice in Wonderland (summer, 2008), Dining with the Dearly Departed (fall, 2008), Willy Wonka (summer, 2009), The Forieigner (spring, 2010), and Oliver (summer, 2010). They also sponsored A Tribute to Alvin Ailey (winter, 2008) performed by Turnout, a dance troupe from Hopkinsville.

New visitors to Trigg County and Cadiz see many usual small-town fixtures, but one of the ornaments around town raises a few questions.
Karla White of Cherokee Antiques said that tourists come to her all the time and ask, “What’s the story with all the pigs?” when looking at the many, custom painted cement pigs around town.
According to former Main Street Program Director Cindy Sholar, “It’s all about the Ham Festival. In Trigg County, ham is our industry.”
Sholar said that the idea for the unique monuments to Trigg County’s signature industry came when she visited Cincinnati, Ohio, for a meeting. Cincinnati featured several pig statues celebrating the meat
packing industry. In Louisville, she said that the mayor of Cadiz said that the town needed statues of this sort.
“I couldn’t picture pigs on Main Street, but at a Main Street meeting, we discussed branding the community. Henderson is the home of John James Audubon and has hand painted cranes and herons. LaGrange’s Main Street manager said that they had two things, a prison and a train that ran through downtown every 20 minutes, so they went with the train. We are what we are, and have to work with what we’ve got. Since Trigg County is about ham, we went with pigs.”
Sholar said she spoke to Bob Brame, owner of Cadiz Hardware and inquired about the statues.
“He was very supportive and gracious about everything we were
planning to do. We started to order the pigs for people and let them have them at my
Having started along Main Street, the pigs have spread through Trigg County as a symbol of community identity.
Sholar said that pigs can be found at the shops at the intersection of I-24 and Highway 68/80 and as far west as the Lake Barkley area.

AURORA — The cars started lining up about 1 p.m. Friday, April 8 first at the intersection, then along the entrance of Kenlake State Resort Park.
It’s not often one can say they were among the first to drive a new bridge, after all. While it was touch and go for just a bit, crews managed to complete tensioning adjustments on the cables of the new Eggners Ferry Bridge in Aurora, and at 4:20 p.m. Friday, that first line of cars made its way across into Trigg County.
It’s an event that’s been a long time coming, according to J.B. Williams, project manager with Baker International.
“Considering where I am in my career, this really tops it all,” Williams
said. “… Seeing something come to fruition after many years working with it, and working with you all and the public and getting the right bridge, at the right time, at the right price in the right place, it’s great.”
Two-way traffic was open on just the westbound lanes of the new bridge as of Tuesday, which will allow crews to continue work on the remaining lanes and multi-use path that runs along the southside of the structure. Overall project construction was previously estimated to conclude in October; however, contractors have until the end of the year to finish.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KyTC) Public Information Officer for districts 1 and 2 Keith Todd said demolition crews were on site Friday to begin initial survey work. Demolition
on the old bridge, he said, could take place in the next two to four months. Crews were expected to begin removing the concrete decking off of the old bridge this week, Todd said.
It’s somewhat of an expedited timeline.
“Part of what’s at work there, we had to do an offset, because the main navigation channel on the new bridge did not match the old bridge,” Todd said. “The (U.S.) Coast Guard asked that the old bridge come down as quickly as possible.”
The new bridge will eventually serve as the western gateway to a solid four-lane corridor through the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, connecting Aurora to Cadiz. On the greater scale, the passage will serve to link the anticipated
I-69 corridor from Mayfield to Bowling Green.
Its near twin, the Henry Lawrence Memorial Bridge in Canton, is in the beginning stages of construction. Initial construction efforts began in April on the $128.3 million project. PLC Civil Construction based in Denver, Colo., is the prime contractor for the Lake Barkley project. Contractors estimate the Barkley Lake bridge project should be completed by October 2017.
However, for now, many are just happy to see the new bridge available for use, albeit on a limited basis. Trigg County Sheriff’s Deputy David Tomlinson made the trip on Friday to Aurora to see the hubbub for himself and drive across.
“I’m excited for the new bridge to open up,” Tomlinson said. “It’s wider, (provides for) better traffic and flow of things. I think I’m not the only one, all the citizens have been waiting, now they’ll be waiting for the second one to open, too.”
From a law enforcement perspective, Tomlinson said he felt the new bridge would alleviate issues with traffic congestion and possible collisions, particularly as it related to mirrors touching when larger vehicles meet.
The original Eggners Ferry Bridge was opened in 1932 to cross the Tennessee River, before the creation of Kentucky Lake.

The city of Cadiz looks to break ground on a new water plant in the coming year.
The city is pursuing grant monies to offset construction costs, and Cadiz Mayor Todd King said in a previous interview that officials were fairly certain the city could obtain about $3.5 million toward plant construction. Total estimated cost of the new facility was $5.5 million.
The facility — which would be located on a 5-acre tract of land in the Trigg County Industrial Park purchased in December from the Cadiz-Trigg County Economic Development Council at a cost of $12,500 per acre — would eventually house a 1.5 million gallon per day capacity plant. The city began looking into a new facility last year, after the results of a commissioned study in August found the city could not feasibly expand on the existing plant due to infrastructure age and capacity. WMS, the agency conducting the study, recommended building a new facility.
The city looks to be shovel ready when grant awards begin in the fall.
The Harper House, a popular eatery in Hopkinsville recently announced its intent to relocate to Cadiz. The new establishment will employ about 50 people and be located on Hopkinsville Road, near WKDZ. Developers will have the project, which consists of new from the ground up construction, completed by Dec. 31.
“We’re going to put $500,000 into the city’s checkbook over 10 years. … We want this to be a first-class place,” Joe Nichols, project investor, said during the Jan. 5 city council meeting. “… We want this to be a draw to the city of Cadiz.”
