Thoughts at graduation: Beginning of a lifetime of learning  We celebrate with this year's ACHS seniors, knowing they are likely the best prepared in history for college or careers. Graduation is also time for a reality check. The world's economy, based highly on technology, is changing so rapidly it is very difficult to look beyond 5 years out.

For the sake of future graduating classes I urge all of Adair County to join me and think BIG! - ALAN W. REEDPhoto at left courtesy Adair Co. Board of Education.

Reed, Superintendent Adair County Schools, 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY As we wrap up another school year I would have to say this has been one of our most memorable endings, ever. On Tuesday ACHS students participated in bittersweet graduation "walk-throughs" at each of our four schools. There were signs designed by elementary students, "high-five's" at the middle school and plenty of hugs and tears from the students' teachers, both past and present.
