The mission of the LaRue County School District, in partnership with the entire community, is to provide all students, through individualized learning experiences, the knowledge and critical thinking and life skills to succeed in a diverse society. The school system offers a wide variety of experiences to enrich the lives of our students, from academics to extra-curricular to social and emotional support at each school. The district is responsive to student needs and provides additional time and support for learning as well as opportunities for enrichment. We support students in the expectation to take ownership and pride in their progress and their future success.
