We want to wish a huge congratulations to senior Brennen Mullins for receiving the Otis Singletary scholarship award from the University of Kentucky. This is a very competitive scholarship that requires the highest level of academic excellence and awards full tuition for all 4 years and a $20,000 housing stipend for the freshman and sophomore years. Brennen will attend the University of Kentucky in the Fall where he will major in Civil Engineering.

We are so very proud of you, Brennen! We know you’ll do amazing things.

We are very excited to congratulate sophomore Emma Stewart on being accepted into the Governor’s School for the Arts. This highly competitive program is incredibly selective and rigorous.

For three weeks every summer, over 200 of Kentucky’s most talented and creative high school students are invited to grow and learn together at the Governor’s School for the Arts’ college summer residence program.

Students are immersed in a rigorous schedule of daily seminars, master classes, lectures, hands-on workshops and field trips...

Abigail Rosys, a senior at The Piarist School in Hagerhill and daughter of Gary and Jean Rosys, is one very happy student after being named a National Merit Scholarship Finalist. But, it is an honor that began for her over a year ago.

According to the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, roughly 1.6 million students take the PSAT each year. This test is the first step in a long process to this prestigious scholarship. From the over a million students, 16,000 are named Semifinalists. These Semifinalists must then go through an application process which includes writing essays, getting recommendations, and taking the SAT. Students who show a very high academic record and score well enough on the test will then be promoted to Finalist...

We are hard at work in the final stages of the annual Christmas Program. Thanks to the generosity of multiple parishes and individuals throughout the country, over 800 kids will be receiving store-bought presents that they otherwise could not afford.

We will post pictures as the dates draw nearer.

Anyone wishing to help purchase gifts may contact Outreach Director Audrey Collins at 606-789-1967 or piaoutreach@bellsouth.net.

This summer, we welcomed Helping Hands Christian Missions to the Piarist Outreach Emergency Home Projects.  This is a wonderful group dedicated to their Mission and always giving a hand up to those in need. They completed work on two separate homes for families in need this year.
