Yesterday, Mercy Health - Marcum and Wallace provided Stop the Bleed Training for staff across the Estill County School District. This important training equips school personnel with the knowledge and skills to respond quickly and effectively in a critical emergency.

A special thank you to Jessica Samples, RN, and Meghan Mills, Director of Community Health, for leading this valuable, hands-on training. Their expertise helps equip our staff with lifesaving skills.

We appreciate their commitment to keeping our schools prepared and our students and staff safe.

Students enrolled in the Estill County Virtual Academy may pick up their Chromebook at the Central Office on August 10–12 from 8:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Students in grades 3rd - 12th must be present to pick up their Chromebook. Students are required to sign an Electronic User Agreement before the device can be issued.

We look forward to seeing you!

As we prepare to kick off another incredible school year, our district leadership has been learning, collaborating, and growing!

This week, administrators from across the Estill County School District attended the Kentucky Association of School Administrators (KASA) Conference in Louisville, where they gained valuable ideas and strategies to bring back to our students, staff, and schools.

We are especially proud of Mrs. Chandler, Mrs. Beard, and Mrs. Brock, who represented Estill County by presenting a session on Instructional Coaching. Their willingness to share their expertise with educators from across the Commonwealth is a testament to the outstanding leadership within our district.

Here's to a fantastic 2026–2027 school year! Go Engineers!

Please disregard the previous one call about summer feeding. Last week was the final pickup. Sorry for the confusion. Thank you.

Reminder: Today, Tuesday, July 28, is the weekly summer feeding meal pickup from 12 to 2 at South Irvine or 4 to 6 at Estill Springs. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

Every great journey begins with a first stop.

Today we welcomed the newest members of the Estill County School District Family at our New Teacher Launch Day. Together, we learned, laughed, shared a meal, built new connections, and celebrated the beginning of an exciting journey.

We are grateful to our district leaders who invested their time and wisdom into preparing our newest teachers for the year ahead. Most importantly, we're excited to welcome an outstanding group of educators who have chosen to invest their talents in the students of Estill County.

Welcome aboard, Engineers! Your journey starts here, and we're so glad you're traveling with us.

#EngineerOne, EngineerALL
