  • Schools garner ‘Race to Top’ funds

    The Trimble County School System is among applicants – representing 55 school districts across 11 states and Washington, D.C. – that have won the 2012 Race to the Top-District competition.
    More than 20 of those districts that won are in Kentucky.

    “We are thrilled to be one of the recipients of the Race To the Top Grant,” Trimble Superintendent Marcia Dunaway said. “We do not have specific guidelines of what the details for the grant will be.”

  • Rational input and reasonable action

    From The News-Enterprise

    With a horrified nation, our hearts are broken and tears have been shed for the 20 children and six teachers and administrators slain at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

    In the days since the sickening Dec. 14 shootings, the outcry continues for a national conversation on what must be done to curb such mass killings.

  • Raiders riding high with four-game win streak

    The Trimble County Raiders were riding a four-game winning streak into the second round of the Silver Grove Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, following a first-round, 75-72 win over the host school Thursday night.

    The Raiders fronted 13-10 after a quarter of play and continued to hold a three-point (36-33) advantage at halftime. Trimble spread the margin to 57-44 after three quarters of play, but the Big Trains (yes, that’s the Silver Grove mascot) came chugging back to outscore Trimble 28-18 in the final eight minutes for the eventual three-point margin.
