  • Russellville Jr./Sr. HS has made it abundantly clear that reading is a big deal at both the Middle and High schools.

The 7th Grade took the midterm honors for the 2nd quarter and enjoys the fruits of a rewards day on Friday.
  • The RHS Marching Band competed in the Class A State Semi Finals this Saturday at Bullitt Central High School as one of the State’s top 16 Class A Bands. The Marching Panthers finished 9th in the state while marching through the muddy conditions. This group of Panthers improved on last year’s Regional score by 8 points and finished as one of the highest finishers in Panther Marching Band history. The Panther Percussion team finished their marching season undefeated. The future is bright as these Senior Band Members close out their final Panther campaign. Band Director Brian Brown and Assistant Director Trevor Cardwell has numbers climbing in participation including an astounding 40+ members in the 5th Grade Band at Stevenson. Congrats to a truly exceptional group of young men and women as well as the best leadership and community support a school could ask for!
  • Russellville Jr./Sr. HS’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes and First Priority Clubs helped to sponsor the Fields of Faith Youth Rally at Rhea stadium on Wednesday of this past week. The event featured guest speaker and RHS grad Christian Naylor as well as several representatives from Campbellsville University. The event wasn’t just for Russellville students though. Students from all five of the Logan Co. School feeder schools as well as LCHS were in attendance and teams were recognized in conjunction with one another, an act of solidarity celebrating the sacrifices of the many young men and women of the Russellville/Logan Co. community. Over 500 community members and students attended the event.
