FRANKFORT, KY — Two local schools, Second Street School and Frankfort High School, have achieved the Family Friendly Schools Certification from the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, as announced last month. This recognition marks the third consecutive occasion that both institutions have received this prestigious award.
The certification reflects the commitment of these schools to create supportive and enriching environments for students and their families. It highlights the importance of community involvement in education, emphasizing the idea that it takes a collective effort to nurture children’s academic and social development.
Both schools are part of the Frankfort Independent Schools district, which is known for its dedication to fostering family engagement and promoting educational success. The district’s focus on collaboration among parents, educators, and community members has fostered an inclusive atmosphere that benefits all students.
Receiving this certification is particularly significant for both schools during a time when community support in education is paramount. The Prichard Committee evaluates schools based on various criteria, including family involvement and commitment to creating a welcoming environment for all.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to participate actively in school events and decision-making processes, further highlighting the district’s belief that collaborative efforts enhance student learning experiences. The recognition aims to motivate other schools within the region to adopt similar practices of family engagement.
As temperatures remain low this season, with a forecast high of 32°F and a low of 17°F, the achievement of local schools shines brightly in the community, proving that despite the chill in the air, the warmth of shared commitment to education is a powerful force in Frankfort.
