GSP is a five-week summer residential program for outstanding high school students in Kentucky between their Junior and Senior years.

Mrs. Candice Flatt, the Gifted Coordinator for the Adair County School district, teaches these students during Tribe Time at the highschool, and both are in her Kentucky United Nations Assembly class.

Aaron is on the debate team and has been extremely successful writing resolutions for our team. Bailey Watts was elected as the International Court of Justice President for the 2024-2025 school year. Both students excel in world politics and social economics. I am so pleased to have them in my program, and they are very deserving of the Governor's Scholars award.

ACHS plans Operation 10-46 on the cusp of Prom 2024 On the morning of Thursday, May 2, 2024, Adair County High School, in conjunction with several community first responders, will stage an activity for Adair Couty High School students that will involve a staged car accident. The activity, entitled Operation 10-46--which is emergency personal radio communication code for an automobile accident with injuries--will take place at the Adair County Middle School Football field. The purpose of this activity is to reinforce the importance of smart decisions in and around prom weekend. Distracted and impaired driving is a concern across age levels, and organizers feel that this activity will drive home the importance of making good decisions, staying away from drinking or impaired driving, and never texting while behind the wheel. Each of these poor decisions can have dire consequences and Operation 10-46 will communicate this in a very real manner. Please be prepared to hear sirens in and around Adair County Schools campus on the morning of May 2, 2024. There will be a variety of emergency personnel involved in and around the automobile accident scene. Medical evacuation helicopters will also be landing on campus as well.
