Education

William Pearman is a rising senior at LaRue County High School who has a hobby that is quite unusual:  he uses a forge to produce professional-quality knives.

Pearman demonstrated his skills to fellow students enrolled in art camp at LCHS last week by forging a steel sword.

“He is one of the most talented young men I have ever known,” said Monique Hanna, LCHS art teacher and camp director.  “He is gracious, smart, witty, and humble…the best of what his generation has to offer.”

Campbellsville University honored students, faculty and staff who have gone above and beyond their calling at the recent annual Honors and Awards Day in Ransdell Chapel.

Awards were presented in categories of Special Awards, Academic Awards, Servant Leadership Awards, Honors Graduates, Alpha Chi, Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges and Champions of Character.

The GED recipients who attend Adult Education Commencement exercises at LaRue County High School’s auditorium at 6 p.m. June 19 have their individual reasons for summoning the motivation, determination, and persistence necessary to attain their General Education Development certificates.

For 26-year-old Monique Lewis, the reason was the realization that to enter the nursing or teaching field, her top career choices, she would need that certificate.
