MCHS implemented academy teams across its high-school schedule

What happened

McCracken County High School reported academy staffing assignments and roles, a finalized master schedule, training with three community partners, and new team meetings for grades 10 through 12 alongside the existing freshman academy.

Why it matters to families

The academy model changes how high-school students and staff are grouped for advising, scheduling, career pathways and instructional collaboration.

The evidence

The August 11, 2026 MCHS council minutes say academy principals and counselors finalized the master schedule, three academy training days covered staffing assignments and roles, and grade 10 and grades 11/12 team PLC meetings were beginning. Earlier council minutes trace the plan, five new high-school positions, schedule feedback and finalized academy staff assignments.
