When it comes to public education, there’s a lot to celebrate. Educators, students, parents, policymakers, and communities are working together and getting great results.  A new school year always gives me hope for the future. It also brings new challenges. With great pride and enthusiasm, I welcome you to the Bardstown City Schools. 

Bardstown City Schools has a proud history of providing a common standards-led educational program in a dynamic learning environment that ensures that each student reaches high levels of academic achievement.  Our students engage in powerful learning experiences, mastering rigorous grade level standards while developing the core thinking and learning competencies necessary to be successful in college, careers and as citizens of our global community. 

We celebrate and honor the strong relationships that have been established among and between the Board of Education, administration, faculty, parents and the Bardstown community at large.  With an outstanding team of administrators and faculty, we work in collaboration with families to engage in continuous improvement efforts that challenge and support our students.  This commitment to continuous improvement creates an environment of innovation, excellence and diversity at all levels of our educational organization.

The purpose of our website is to keep our students, staff, parents and community informed of the outstanding services, resources and programs that are offered by the Bardstown City Schools.  We encourage you to explore this website and learn more about the quality programming that is offered in our schools and community.
