Every student's GC Advantage looks a little different.
For Lydia Castle, it meant graduating high school already prepared to take the next step toward a career in nursing.
Through Greenup County Schools' Health Science pathway, Lydia earned certifications in phlebotomy and nurse aide — giving her skills she can use in the workforce right now while continuing her education.
But she did not stop there.
Lydia also earned 36 college credit hours while still in high school, allowing her to begin her nursing journey years ahead of where she otherwise might have started.
That is Lydia's GC Advantage.
It is finding the path you want to pursue — and having the opportunities, classes, and support to start building your future before you ever walk across the graduation stage.
Today, Lydia is heading into her first year of college ready to pursue nursing with experience, certifications, college credit, and a head start she worked hard to earn.
Work ready. College ready. Future ready.
And we are incredibly proud of her.
Lydia's story is just one example of The GC Advantage. Learn more about the opportunities available to Greenup County students: www.greenup.kyschools.us/gcadvantage
Your Future. Your Pathway. Your Greenup.

For Carter Nunley, Class of 2027, it is academics, athletics and the opportunities that are helping him prepare for the future he wants to build.
Through Jessie Stuart Institute (JSI), Carter is on track to graduate high school with an associate degree in science and 60 college credit hours that can transfer to many colleges across Kentucky.
At the same time, he has balanced that academic path while competing in football, soccer and tennis — with plans to continue playing football at the college level.
For Carter, the GC Advantage has meant being challenged in the classroom, supported by coaches and encouraged to keep working toward his goals.
After graduation, Carter plans to attend college, become a teacher and, one day, hopes to come back home to teach at Greenup County.
That is Carter’s GC Advantage.
It is finding opportunities that push you, people who believe in you and a path that helps you build a future you are proud of — maybe even one that brings you right back home.
Carter’s story is just one example of The GC Advantage. Learn more about the opportunities available to Greenup County students: www.greenup.kyschools.us/gcadvantage.

My GC Advantage: George Hieneman
Every student’s GC Advantage looks a little different.
For George Hieneman, Class of 2027, it is agriculture, FFA and the opportunities that have helped him discover a future he is excited to build.
Through the agriculture programs at Greenup County High School, George has been able to learn more about the agriculture industry, expand his knowledge and take part in experiences that go far beyond the classroom.
From FFA activities during the school year to summer opportunities like state convention in Lexington, students have the chance to compete, lead, speak, interview, sell, learn and grow through real experiences.
For George, those opportunities have opened doors.
They have helped him explore what he loves, think about his future and begin planning for the next step — including his goal of continuing his education at Morehead State or Murray State and becoming a successful member of the agriculture community.
That is George’s GC Advantage.
It is finding something you care about, gaining experiences that help you grow, and building a future around the things that matter to you.

My GC Advantage: Kamryn Pollock
Every student’s GC Advantage looks a little different.
For Kamryn Pollock, Class of 2027, it is leadership, health science and the opportunities that are helping prepare her for the future she wants to pursue.
Through ROTC and the Health Science pathway at Greenup County High School, Kamryn is building skills that connect directly to her goals. As a senior, she plans to work toward certifications in EMT and phlebotomy — opportunities she hopes can one day tie into a future military career.
For Kamryn, ROTC has become one of her favorite parts of high school.
It has taught her leadership, discipline, fitness and confidence in ways she says she could not learn in any other class. From learning about the history of the Marine Corps to competing with the Raider team, Kamryn has found experiences that challenge her, motivate her and help her grow.
That is Kamryn’s GC Advantage.
It is finding programs that push you, opportunities that prepare you and people who help you become stronger than you were before.

Building The GC Advantage: Stacey Thompson
At the Greenup County Area Technology Center (GCATC), students do not have to wait until after graduation to start building their future.
From welding, electricity and automotive technology to health science, business and marketing, and agriculture, students can explore their interests, find their own pathway, and earn professional-level certifications before they ever leave high school.
And the opportunities go beyond the classroom.
Through organizations like FFA, FBLA, SkillsUSA and HOSA, students build relationships, make memories and gain experiences that become part of their high school story.
For GCATC Principal Stacey Thompson, that is the GC Advantage.
Real pathways. Real skills. Real opportunities.
And the freedom for every student to build a future that is their own.

Some thank-yous will never quite feel big enough. 💚
Today gave us an up-close look at just how much work goes into making our Summer Meal Program possible.
And honestly, it is hard to put into words.
Long before the first car ever pulls through the pickup line, this crew has already put in hours of work. They come in early. Stay late. Pack bags. Prepare food. Move boxes. Load carts. Haul milk. Count, organize and then start all over again.
Week after week.
Then pickup begins.
Today, it rained. The sun came back out. It got hot and humid. The line kept moving.
And so did they.
No complaints. No slowing down. Just an incredible group of people continuing to show up and do whatever needed to be done for our kids and our community.
Behind every meal handed out this summer are people who have given an incredible amount of time, energy and heart to this program.
So today, we simply want to pause and recognize the people behind the program.
Not every person who has helped make this possible is pictured here, but please know this thank-you is for every single person who has given their time and effort to this work.
We see you. We appreciate you. And we are incredibly thankful for all that you have done. 💚💛
As you look through these photos, help us say THANK YOU to this amazing crew. They have absolutely earned it.
And we have to give a special shoutout to The Dairy Alliance for the awesome hats our team was sporting today! We are grateful for organizations like this who continue to support our schools and our team.
To our Summer Meal Program crew — thank you for being so awesome, giving so much and continuing to serve our kids with such care. We are so proud of you and all that you do.

My GC Advantage: Zoey Hackett
Every student's GC Advantage looks a little different.
For Zoey Hackett, Class of 2027, it is choir, music, and finding a place where she truly belongs.
After four years in choir, Zoey says the experience has helped her become more comfortable putting herself out there — but it has also taught her something just as important: how to look out for others, help them grow, and encourage them to be their best.
Along the way, she has found a teacher who made students feel welcomed and cared for, and a group of people who share her interests and simply fit together.
That is Zoey's GC Advantage.
Because sometimes, finding your path starts with finding your people.
It is having the opportunity to explore what you love, gain confidence, care for others, and discover a place where you can truly flourish.
And we are proud to watch Zoey do just that.
Zoey's story is just one example of The GC Advantage. Learn more about the opportunities available to Greenup County students:

This year, Greenup County High School is excited to offer a week-long Pre-Camp for students who are interested in exploring marching band. During the week, participants will learn the fundamentals of marching band, develop new musical and performance skills, and meet fellow students who share a passion for music.
Pre-Camp is completely free and open to all students enrolled at GCHS. No prior experience is required—whether you've never played an instrument, never marched before, or have simply been curious about joining the band; this is the perfect opportunity to get started.
Returning band members will also report during this week, making it a great time to reconnect and welcome our newest members. We look forward to seeing you there!
Please bring with you a water jug, sunscreen and athletic wear.
If you have any questions about marching band or band in general, please contact Mr. Yeaste at alec.yeaste@greenup.kyschools.us
Meet Coach Kevin Campbell!
Greenup County Schools is excited to congratulate Coach Kevin Campbell, who will be leading the GC soccer program while continuing to serve students in the classroom as an English Language Arts teacher at Greenup County High School.
Coach Campbell lives in Greenup County and began teaching at GCHS in 2022. His love for soccer runs deep. He lettered all four years at Ashland, played for KHSAA Hall of Fame coach Frank Sloan, was part of a regional championship team that advanced to the Elite 8, earned all-district and all-region recognition, served for many years as a KHSAA referee, and later coached as an assistant at Russell.
Now, he is excited for the opportunity to lead his own program at GC.
“My one non-negotiable is that whenever we take the pitch representing GC, and whomever our opponent is, we COMPETE,” Coach Campbell said. “Wins and losses are a part of the game, but we must always compete.”
As both a teacher and coach, Coach Campbell hopes his students and athletes see the value of showing up, being consistent, working hard, and holding themselves to a high standard. Since joining GCHS, he has never missed a single day of class, always there — something he hopes will serve as an example for students both in the classroom and on the field.
His GC Advantage is simple but powerful: he believes anything is possible for every student, and he wants students and athletes to experience encouragement to do the things they may not think they can do.
Coach Campbell is looking forward to getting to know his players and their families, preparing for the season, competing in the first game on August 11 against Fleming County at home, and working toward the program’s goal of a district championship.
“Being a Musketeer has been one of the greatest privileges and blessings of my life,” he said. “I’m grateful to be a part of our dedicated faculty and proud to be a member of our amazing community.”
Join us in congratulating Coach Campbell!
We are excited for the future of GC Soccer.

My GC Advantage: Cameron Whitt
Every student’s GC Advantage looks a little different.
For Cameron Whitt, Class of 2026, it looks like hard work, hands-on learning, and a future he has already started building.
Cameron graduated from the Greenup County Area Technology Center fully certified in three career pathways: welding, automotive technology, and industrial electricity. According to the Kentucky Department of Education, he is the first Greenup County ATC student to complete full certification stacks in all three areas before graduation.
That did not happen by accident.
Cameron took advantage of the opportunities in front of him, invested in himself, and turned his interest in the trades into real skills, industry credentials, work-based learning experience, and a clear plan for what comes next.
His primary focus is electricity, and his next step includes continuing through an apprenticeship program with the electrical union in Portsmouth. But Cameron’s bigger goal says a lot about who he is: he wants to stay small-town and use his skills to help people.
That is The GC Advantage.
It is helping students discover what they are good at, explore what they enjoy, build skills that matter, and graduate with confidence, direction, and purpose.
Cameron’s GC Advantage is his own.
And we are proud to help him build it.
