Barren County High School

Barren County Schools will be hosting "A Matter of Perspective" the Arts for All Kentucky 2026 Student Traveling Art Exhibit from January 12- 23 at the Trojan Art Gallery at Barren County High School.

Arts for All Kentucky is a non-profit organization that promotes arts, education and creative expression for all. The Student Traveling Art Exhibit, “A Matter of Perspective” is an annual exhibit of original artwork created by students with disabilities from across Kentucky. The exhibit travels the state showcasing the work of these exceptional artists. The 2026 show includes work from three Barren County students: BCHS 9th graders John Riley Christie and Bobby Kidd and BCMS 8th grader Jesse Rister.

The exhibit is open to the public Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30- 4:30 or by appointment. Viewing by appointment can be arranged by contacting April Harper at april.harper@barren.kyschools.us. A closing reception will be held on Thursday January 22 from 4:30- 6pm.

Seniors! Cap and Gown orders are due on Thursday, Jan 15, 2026. The price will increase on 1/16. The FINAL DAY TO ORDER is MARCH 1st, but remember, that is at the higher price.

Kentucky is transitioning from the ACT to the SAT, and we want our BCHS students and families to feel confident and prepared every step of the way.

While the format is changing, our commitment to students is not. The SAT still measures the same core skills—reading, writing, and math—and BCHS is already aligning instruction, practice opportunities, and support to match the SAT. Students will receive targeted practice, exposure to SAT-style questions, and guidance on test strategies so there are no surprises on test day.

To help families better understand the difference between the ACT and SAT, we encourage you to watch this short, helpful video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy6mh3OkekM

Congratulations to our BC students who auditioned and were accepted into the Southern Division Honor Choir, which will be held later this year in Memphis, Tennessee.

Congratulate these students when you see them for their hard work, and for going the extra mile to audition!
