Sometimes, doing the right thing doesn’t require a second thought—it just comes naturally.
Before spring break, Hunter Houston came upon the scene of a single-vehicle accident involving a fallen tree. Without hesitation, he pulled over, jumped out, and stepped in to help—assisting deputies in clearing large portions of debris and tree limbs from the roadway to help keep others safe.
The Boyd County Sheriff’s Office later shared their appreciation for Hunter’s willingness to step up and serve others in that moment.
Hunter comes from a family rooted in service. As the son of a retired deputy sheriff, he has grown up seeing firsthand what it means to help others and give back to your community. He hopes to one day follow in those footsteps as a law enforcement officer.
When we asked why he stopped to help, Hunter kept it simple:
“I didn’t really have to think about it… it was just natural. It was the right thing to do.”
That mindset says everything.
Hunter represents the very best of our GC community—strong character, selflessness, and a commitment to helping others when it matters most.
We’re proud of you, Hunter!!
Impressive Studios has worked with numerous local schools, and we’re proud to bring this opportunity back to a local business while supporting our community.
Picture order forms and additional information will be sent home with elementary students this week.
We will use this as an opportunity to further evaluate as we assess needs for the 2026–2027 school year.
Our goal is to keep our families and community informed every step of the way, and we truly appreciate your support and understanding during this transition.

Today, Superintendent Hall proudly represented our school district at a meaningful event, recognizing an important piece of local and Appalachian history.
The Appalachian Freedom Initiative is a nine-county, three-state initiative to locate and document Underground Railroad sites in the tri-state region of Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia.
During the ceremony, Mr. Hall accepted a certificate and land marker officially recognizing the former Lynn Elementary School site as part of the Appalachian Freedom Heritage Project. This site has been identified as the Greenup Revolt Escape Site—an important location connected to the stories of resistance and the pursuit of freedom in our region.
We are honored to collaborate with local organizations to help preserve and share this history with our students, staff, and others. Recognizing sites like this ensures that these powerful stories are not forgotten and continue to educate future generations.
We invite our community to learn more about this important project and its impact across Appalachia:

Peyton will be studying Health and Human Performance, with the goal of becoming either an Occupational or Speech Therapist!
When several coaches from over the years were asked to share memories of Peyton, a clear theme emerged — she is one of the toughest, most determined, and hardest-working players they have ever coached. Her impressive accomplishments and jaw-dropping stats are a direct reflection of the way she carries herself both on and off the court.
We’re proud of Peyton’s tremendous career as a Musketeer and are excited to see her take her talents and leadership to the next level.
We can’t wait to watch her continue to excel!
With four newly elected members joining our school board, this team has already hit the ground running — focused on learning, leading, and serving our Greenup County community.
Last night, our members participated in training centered on board roles and responsibilities, policies and procedures, and effective leadership. Several also recently attended the Kentucky School Boards Association (KSBA) Annual Conference to complete state-required training and gain insight into best practices from districts across Kentucky.
Leadership is about service. And service starts with preparation.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be introducing each of our board members and sharing their stories so you can get to know the individuals representing our students, families, and staff as we move forward — together.
Today, Greenup County Wrestling high school, middle school, and youth wrestlers were honored for their performance during the postseason.
