We appreciate congressional candidate Zach Dembo for taking the time to visit the Estill County Schools Central Office today to hear firsthand from our team about public education and how the federal government can better support communities like ours.
Following his visit, Mr. Dembo joined Community Education Director Melinda Barnett at the Estill County Chamber of Commerce luncheon, where he had the opportunity to learn more about the many great things happening throughout our community.
Thank you, Mr. Dembo, for taking the time to listen and engage with Estill County. We are grateful for the opportunity to share our voices and our story.

We are so thankful for Mrs. Shaye, her servant heart, and the difference she makes in the lives of our students and families.
FRYSC Shoutout: Mrs. Courtney
Mrs. Courtney is a constant source of support for our students and families at West Irvine Elementary. She shows up every day with a smile and a genuine care for our kids, always ready to help wherever there is a need.
She works tirelessly to break down barriers for our students, making sure they have what they need to be successful—whether that means providing clothes, school supplies, food, or quiet support behind the scenes. She has an incredible way of ensuring no child goes without, and every child feels seen and cared for.
