Joseph was recently selected as a 2023 Rotary Youth Leadership Award winner.  This Leadership Award was sponsored by the London Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Lexington. This was their 7th annual leadership camp for middle school 8th graders. 

The vision of the Rotary Youth Leadership Award is to help build future leaders of our community by providing them with a team-based adventure experience.  In April, Joseph participated in a one day camp, with other award winners from across Eastern Kentucky.  This was held at the Life Adventure Center in Versailles, KY. 

Mrs. Connie Floyd (Elementary Teacher) and Mrs. Karen Nantz (Middle School Teacher) have been chosen by their fellow teachers to receive the Campbellsville University Excellence in Teaching Award at East Bernstadt Independent School.  The purpose of this award is to recognize quality teaching in Kentucky schools and to strengthen the field of education. It provides statewide recognition to outstanding individuals for their leadership and dedication to the teaching profession. Implicit in the award is the expectation that the recipients’ examples may inspire all teachers to excel.

In addition to recognition and an awards ceremony, recipients will receive a personalized certificate.

East Bernstadt Independent School is pleased to announce that Alisa Houchens has been selected for the 2023 PACE Setter Award out of hundreds of speech therapists across KY and was recognized on Friday, Feb. 17^th at the KSHA annual conference.  Mrs. Houchens was nominated by Cristin Chadwell, Director of Special Education for this prestigious award due to her continued hard work, attention to detail with all the paperwork and testing, and the love she has for her profession.  She always goes above and beyond for our students and school.      

The KSHA PACE Setter award honors Speech/Language Therapists who demonstrates exemplary service to the profession. A PACE Setter exemplifies KSHA’S mission to set the pace in Professional Development, Advocacy, Collaboration and Education. KSHA PACE Setters care about those they serve and enhance the image of the profession in a positive, meaningful way.
