During the 2012-13, several students enrolled in the  new  aviation courses offered at CCHS.  Students studied aviation during  their first semester, and then received the opportunity to apply what they learned during their second semester of the class.  The students had to research, design, build a wing, and then fly their aircraft.  As the students complete the program and  career path by the time the reach their  senior year, they will be able to receive 3-9 hours of dual credit from one of the following colleges: Morehead state University, Emery Riddle University, Eastern Kentucky University, and Jefferson Community College and University of Kentucky.  Click here for pictures of the recent Kentucky Wing Design Competition where our aviation students competed.  Congratulations to all!

You can keep up with their progress by checking out the state tournament bracket, provided by KHSAA.  GOOD LUCK JOSH AND LUKE!

The National Center for Learning and Citizenship (NCLC) at the Education Commission of the States (ECS) just released a series of case studies that examines the link between service-learning and the Common Core State Standards (download the PDF).

NCLC staff visited four diverse sites—from urban Chicago to rural Kentucky—in an effort to determine whether and how high-quality service-learning is utilized as a teaching strategy for implementation of the Common Core. The report includes recommendations for the types of supports teachers and administrators need to effectively implement the Common Core using service-learning, which is strategy that is proven to foster student development of the deeper learning emphasized by the Common Core. Congratulations to Grant's Lick Elementary for being cited as one of the four sites recognized for high quality service learning!  CARDINAL PRIDE!
