The artwork of some Carroll County High School students can be spotted on a snow plow as the winter season arrives.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet offered high schools the opportunity to Paint the Plow during the inaugural safe winter driving promotion. CCHS art teacher Jeremy Cobb selected a group of artists to paint the plow. The blade is 12 feet wide and 4 feet high.
Robin Dillard, Addyson Campbell, Savannah Wright, Grace Whisman, Hailey Kurtz and Brenna Mefford brought to life the image of a snowman that was hit and toppled by someone not driving safely in the snow. The plow was brought to CCHS by the local state highway department workers. Its home was in the makerspace until it was picked up recently.
Nine teenagers traveled to the Northern Kentucky Regional Youth Summit during Red Ribbon Week.
Five from the high school and four from the middle school were selected to attend.
The summit is a collaborative effort related to substance use prevention and mental health awareness. Students could attend focused sessions.
Some of the summit’s goals include to strengthen leadership and advocacy skills, make the youth feel empowered to make change in their community, address youth substance use and suicide trends, as well as foster resiliency skills to better cope with mental illness.
The high schoolers who attended were Hannah Weedman, Makayla Keithley, Shelby Hillebrandt, Coy Willhoite and Aiden Lilley. The middle school representatives were Molly Young, Brooklyn Rose, Milee Dickerson and Amberlee Schooler.

Cook Like A Rockstar is a popular Focus Friday class at Carroll County High School. The instructor was awarded $1,750 in grant money through the local McDonald’s restaurant.
Tracey Reynolds, the youth services coordinator at CCHS, applied for the grant to benefit the class taught by Bessie Howard. She sought $750, which she was awarded. As a bonus, Grant Groen, owner of the Carrollton McDonald’s, donated another $1,000 to the cause.
The students have learned to make entrees and desserts in class. In the spring semester, they will take a trip to Sullivan University to learn about their culinary arts program.

CCHS students learned how to turn blue jeans into paper during a Focus Friday class with Spanish teacher Magali McCarty.
She explained the process to the students, who worked in teams to complete the conversion. Students cut up blue jeans the prior week to prepare for this project. They utilized picture frames with steel mesh stapled to the frame to hold the blue jean pulp.
After the jeans are run through a blender, it creates pulp. The pulp was scooped out of a bucket onto the mesh frame where water was sponged out of it and then the paper was moved to a towel for drying.
McCarty hopes to continue the class for another three weeks and offer students the opportunity to make bookmarks for the library. Students will decorate them as well.
