MCHS was able to bring several high school students to the EmpowerHER Conference for the second year in a row!
The EmpowerHER Conference is a Women's Conference put on by the Paducah Chamber of Commerce. This conference is dedicated to inspire, empower, and connect women from various different backgrounds and age groups.
These young women had the opportunity to gain new skills, learn from other women's life experiences, and leave feeling inspired as they walk into their next stage of life. #McCrackenProud

🏫✨ State Representative Randy Bridges Visits McCracken County High School!
State Representative Randy Bridges spent some time at McCracken County High School as part of the Principal for a Day program!
“Principal for a Day” is a statewide initiative organized by the Kentucky Association of School Administrators (KASA) that allows legislators and community leaders to shadow a school principal and gain a firsthand look at school operations and the challenges of educational leadership. Created through House Concurrent Resolution 25, the program helps strengthen understanding and support for Kentucky’s public schools.
Thank you, Representative Bridges, for visiting MCHS and for your continued commitment to supporting public education!
