When the county schools closed, Mrs. Barnes accepted the position as school counselor at Adair County Elementary School, and other than a one year return to John Adair as their school counselor, she concluded her career at ACES.

In 2006 when the county schools closed, Mrs. Walker moved to Adair County Elementary School where she completed her career teaching 4th grade reading. "I didn't decide to teach," says Mrs. Walker, "it was a calling that became a passion." Mrs. Walker and her husband, Dicky, have two daughters: Katy who is married to Seth Coomer, and Abby. Mrs. Marian Grant began career in 1991 in Russell County, KY Mrs. Marian Grant began her career in 1991 in Russell County as an ISBM (In School Behavior Modification) teacher.

Extra duties for Mrs. Grant during her career have been ACHS Girls Golf and Tennis coach, Shepherd Elementary Girls Basketball coach and currently ACMS assistant cheerleader sponsor. Mrs. Grant leaves her career in education with advice to students: "My favorite quote in life is one from a very famous coach, Jim Valvano.
