Education

The Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority’s website includes two unique features that provide important information to help Kentucky students and parents learn about and apply for student financial aid.
Zip Access and Zip Answer are available on www.kheaa.com. Zip Access lets students check their Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship award and apply for the Early Childhood Development Scholarship. The sign-in function for Zip Access is at the top of the KHEAA home page.

LaRue County High School’s advanced art class is doing something that, according to their teacher, Monique Hanna, is a first for the school – exhibiting their works in an art gallery.
On April 29, from 5-8 p.m., the students will show paintings and a sculpture at Woodland Gallery, 2410 Ring Road in Elizabethtown.
“Lynn Cowan is the owner of the gallery and has always been very supportive of the art of young people,” said Hanna. “This year the advanced work was so impressive that it seemed only right to put it before the public.”

Fifteen Elizabethtown Community and Technical College students won 16 gold medals at the SkillsUSA State Championships in Louisville in April. They will represent the college and the Commonwealth of Kentucky at the National SkillsUSA Championship in late June in Kansas City, Missouri.  In addition, eight students won silver medals. The college also received the Gold Medal School Award for the largest collegiate membership for two consecutive years.

Spelling Bee winners are pictured.
