Education

A LaRue County resident earned academic honors at Lindsey Wilson College for the 2009 fall semester.

Amanda Cecil of Hodgenville was named to the Dean’s List.

Students named to Dean’s List earned at least a 3.50 graduate point average on a 4.0 scale and attempted at least 12 credit hours during the semester.

Debbie Taylor’s class at LaRue County High School has entered into the home construction business.

Unlike most builders, however, her students will be able to eat their structures as they have designed and built gingerbread houses.

“We make them every year,” Taylor said. “However, in the past we have used graham crackers and hot glue. This year, everything is totally edible.”

For their building plans, the students researched various recipes on Web sites, compared them, then selected the ones that best suited them.  

Terry Forcht, owner of Forcht Banking, has donated $10,000 to Campbellsville University for athletics and student scholarships.

The money will go to the funding for new field turf for the football field and to the CU’s scholarship fund.

Forcht Bank donates $5,000 annually to Campbellsville University. They support the scholarship fund and the bank is an athletic corporate sponsor.

Seventeen LaRue County High School students who attended the Kentucky Youth Assembly last month are true statesmen, and they have the documentation to prove it.

They were one of only two schools out of the 46 in attendance to receive the Statesman Award, according to Dee Hutchins Jr., LCHS social studies teacher and adviser to the school’s Y-club.

“St. X received one recognition and LaRue County received the other. This is outstanding,” Hutchins said.
