Community members invited to Senior Defenses

From ​Sarah H. Hatton, Director of Secondary Instruction
Adair County Schools

Adair County High School is seeking community members to sit on our first round of Senior Defense of Learning: A Capstone Presentation, on December 9-11, 2025.

The defenses are a culminating piece of strategic work the district has been undertaking since 2022, when we set goals and plans to refine our school system based on the needs of our community. Through a series of community meetings, we developed the Adair County Strategic Plan, and the Adair Portrait of a Learner. You can learn more about how defenses work in this slide deck: ACHS Capstone Defenses.

As a community member, we are asking you to provide praise and feedback - the positive points for our students and teachers that assist our students, teachers, and school in continuing to grow. Administrators and teachers will be the ones scoring student work.

We have defense panels scheduled during the regular school day for December 9-11, 2025, at the times below:
  • 7:50amCT-9:20amCT
  • 9:30amCT-11amCT
  • 11:50-1pmCT
  • 1:10-2:30pmCT
Each time slot has 4-5 students who will individually present. You are welcome to stay an hour or as much of the day(s) as you'd like! Please let us know if you will be able to join a panel by completing the sign up form here: ACHS Defense Panel Sign Ups.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Sarah Hatton, Director of Secondary Instruction, at sarah.hatton@adair.kyschools.us or 270.384.2476 x2002.
