🎉 Big News for McCracken County Schools! 🎉
On behalf of our students, faculty, and staff, we’re excited to announce that Pilot’s newly renovated travel center on Cairo Road has generously donated a $10,000 grant to McCracken County Public Schools through Pilot’s New Horizons “Miles of Good” campaign. 🙌
These funds will support our Blended Learning Program—a growing instructional practice that equips teachers with tools and strategies to:
✅ Boost student engagement
✅ Encourage creativity and ownership in learning
✅ Empower independent problem-solvers
✅ Support small-group collaboration
This school year, 40+ teachers are participating in our Blended Learning Academy. Thanks to Pilot’s support, even more teachers will be able to join and impact students across the district!
💬 “We are so grateful for this grant opportunity… Teachers will receive continued support throughout the 25-26 school year in their professional growth which will impact our students for generations. The return on investment is exponentially great!”
– Michael Ceglinski, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction
👏 A huge thank-you to Pilot for partnering with us to inspire and empower our students for the future!
