Gerald Jones accepts award from David Jones 2014-12-19 - 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Gerald Jones, left, who oversaw building of the Technology Career Center and the installation of bus canopies for Adair County High School and Adair County Elementary School, received special recognition from Adair County School District Buildings and Grounds Superintendent David Jones. David Jones said that only rarely do paths cross where one meets a man as extraordinary as Gerald Jones. "We did not get one complaint during the projects," David Jones said. "He did the canopies in sections to minimize interference with regular school traffic. He poured concrete at night and on weekends. And not one time did he ever complain." David Jones added, "I hope he's in charge of the new bus garage." The bus garage project moved forward last night, Thu 18 Dec 2014, with the decision to hire the architectural firm of Sherman, Carter & Barnhart, Architects, of Lexington, KY for the project. David Jones said he's hopeful the project will be complete by opening day for the 2015-2016 school year. -EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Dr. Tim Smith presents Air & Space Academy to Adair Board 2014-12-19 - 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Dr. Tim Smith, a native of Pine Knott, Kentucky, and founder of Kentucky-born Institute for Aerospace Education, presented plans for establishing a new Career Path and College preparatory pathway in Aerospace Education at Adair County High School. The Adair County Board approved the recommendation unanimously. The local program will be bolstered by Aerospace programs already in place at Taylor County High School, Metcalfe County High School, and Monroe County High School. Networking is important in the program, Dr. Smith said. Student involved become more than classmates, he said. They start as classmates and then seem to be more like brothers & sisters, he said. - EW. Photo Thu 18 Dec, 2014, meeting of the Adair County Board of Education.

Shamarie: Christmas Favorite photo 17 Dec 2014 2014-12-18 - ACPC, 158 Col. Casey Drive, Columbia, KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne, Adair Co. School District. My favorite picture of the day, Wednesday, December 17, 2014, was taken at the Adair County Primary Center and is a close-up of the Christmas tree in their lobby. The children made all the decorations by hand and they were placed with such care. This particular shot flooded my heart and soul with memories of my boys when they were small and would make me the most wonderful things out of their hand prints. - Shamarie Claibore, from Adair County School District Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
