Watts takes First Place in General at Governor's Cup

Bailey Watts was named a Grand Champion at the 2024 KY Governor's Cup State Finals on Monday, March 11, 2024. Bailey placed First in General Knowledge, an exam that consists of questions from all five testing categories (Math, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, and Arts & Humanities). Bailey is currently a junior at Adair County High School. She is the daughter of Bridgette and Ben Watts of Breeding.

More than 15,000 students from schools across the state of Kentucky competed in this year's KAAC Governor's Cup. The pool was narrowed down through District and Regional competitions and the finalists gathered at the Galt House in Louisville, KY for the State Finals March 8-11, 2024. Governor Andy Beshear was in attendance to congratulate and hand out trophies to students who placed in the Top 10 in each category.

Watts joins an elite group of just eight ACHS students to bring home an individual award at the state level since the competition's inception 39 years ago. Other than Watts, only one other student from ACHS has ever brought home a First Place trophy from the State Finals.


KAAC Governor's Cup is Kentucky's premier academic competition. It encourages depth and breadth of academic knowledge, cultural literacy, teamwork, leadership, creativity, risk assessment, and critical thinking. Established in 1985, KAAC now serves over 20,000 students and 1,200 schools across the state of Kentucky.
