Kentucky Volunteer Forum celebrates and gives educational experiences for volunteers through 4-H and the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension. For 2026, we had the opportunity to highlight Estill youth in one of the 4-H Core areas: Expressive Arts. The Estill County Choir members who were selected to participate were Addilyn Leach (7th grade), Kayla Goosey (9th grade), and Haleigh Farris (11th grade). These students performed solo & duet vocal selections, as well as performed selections for ukulele & guitar. This year, the conference welcomed almost 1500 guests from not just Kentucky, but from all over the United States. We want to thank Mrs. Erin Leach, our 4-H and Youth Development Agent for Estill County, for providing this opportunity.

Community Education Director Melinda Barnett had the opportunity to observe Mr. Jeff Brock’s 3rd Period Honors Civics class as they kicked off an exciting Mock Congress simulation!
Students are stepping into the roles of U.S. Representatives and Senators, writing bills, passing budgets, and sending legislation to the President for final approval. If a law is challenged, they must defend it before the Supreme Court!
Every role is played by students, giving them a true hands-on experience with the legislative process and a deeper understanding of how our government works.

There will be no school in the Estill County School District for Tuesday, February 24, 2026, due to the hazardous road conditions, especially on the mountain roads. This will be a traditional snow day. Here are some images captured as the district snow patrol team investigated. Stay safe and warm.

Community Education Director, Melinda Barnett, spent the day with Mrs. Hughes’s class at ECHS, focusing on real-world life skills!
Students rolled up their sleeves and made absolutely delicious Philly cheesesteak sandwiches while learning how to bargain shop, comparing store prices, meat ounces, and cost per ounce. The results definitely surprised everyone!
A special thank you to Mrs. Amanda Bryant for treating the class to some incredibly tasty cheesecake for dessert. It was the perfect sweet ending to a day full of learning and great food!

We are so thankful for CG Bank and their continued partnership with our schools!
Last Friday, representatives from Citizens Guaranty spoke with Ms. Flynn's JAG students about financial independence, covering real-world topics like budgeting, saving, credit, and planning for the future. These are life skills that truly empower our students long after graduation.

Our district would like to welcome MAJ Arline Litchfield to our Estill County JROTC! She is incredibly excited to begin this journey. She is currently serving in the Kentucky Army National Guard as a Chemical Officer and has over 17 years of service in the Army.

In addition to this, MAJ Litchfield has served in multiple assignments throughout the United States and overseas. She is an alumnus of the University of Minnesota with a Bachelor's degree in Geology. Along with serving in the Guard, MAJ Litchfield also owns and operates a small homestead here in Estill County, and proudly participates in the Estill County Farmers' Market each summer.
