 Amanda Beth Powers of Mount Sherman was recently added to Campbellsville University’s President’s Honors List for the spring semester.

The academic honors’ list recognizes students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or above for the semester with a course load of at least 12 hours. Students achieving a 4.0 grade point average are named to the President’s Honors List.

Summer break not only gives the students time to revitalize themselves for the fall semester, it also affords maintenance crews and custodians needed time to repair and prepare buildings and grounds.

“Some things – stripping and waxing floors, cleaning carpets, painting doorways, asphalt sealing – have to wait until the student traffic is not there,” said Phil Fulkerson, director of maintenance and grounds for the LaRue County School District.

Another costly repair that takes the most amount of time might surprise most people.

Campbellsville University will offer short-term certificate and degree course offerings at the Brockman Center in Hodgenville beginning Aug. 20.

Carol Sullivan, director of the Technology Training Center at Campbellsville University, said the Tech Center will offer allied health certificates in state registered nurse aide; CPR healthcare provider; clinical medical assistant; pharmacy technician; and phlebotomy technician.

 Two LaRue County High School students helped construct a house in Louisville this summer through  Habitat for Humanity.

Caleb Canter and Tyler Skaggs, both of Hodgenville, were among a group of Governor’s Scholars at Bellarmine University to spend four weeks on the service project.

The Governor’s Scholars Program, which provides incoming high school seniors with a diverse learning experience on college campuses,  is in its 30th year of partnership with Habitat for Humanity.
