We are so proud of our freshman math teacher, Amanda Baker (2nd from right), who was selected to join a team of outstanding math educators from across the state to help revise Kentucky’s math standards in Berea this week!
Her expertise and passion for student learning continue to shine—both in our classrooms and now at the state level. Way to represent Paintsville and make an impact, Mrs. Baker! 💙📘✨
Family and Community Literacy Engagement is on the way for PHS/PJHS!
Thank you to Johnson County Public Library’s Christy Terry, Kenzie Ryan and Amelia Kretzer for meeting today with our ELA team—Charlene Martin, Dawn McNew, Ebony Doderer, Kelli Vanhoose, and Johnathon McKenzie—as well as our PHS FRYSC Director, Cassandra Stratton and Instructional Supervisor, Nicki Caudill.
PHS/PJHS is excited to partner with the Johnson County Public Library to strengthen our literacy connections with families and the community. Research consistently shows that students whose families are engaged in literacy activities demonstrate higher achievement, improved attendance, and stronger long-term academic outcomes.
More information is coming soon as we work together to build a meaningful and accessible family literacy initiative for our middle and high school students!

Lots of fabulous learning is happening in Mrs. Ramey’s 6th grade math class!
Students are all in different points of learning how to divide fractions by fractions. The class secretary is distributing folders, some students are working independently with fraction tile manipulatives, others are collaborating in small groups, and those who are ahead are stepping up to help classmates who need assistance.
If you ever want to see true differentiation in action, this is the place to be!

Today, Paintsville Elementary’s 3rd–5th grade teachers, along with Reading Recovery teacher Tammie Matijasic, participated in unit internalization training with our long-term professional development partner, Kristy Brackin from Epic.
Paintsville's 6th-8th grade English teachers, along with principal Chester McCoy, are working with our long-term professional development partner, Audrey Harper with EPIC, to internalize instructional units. Unit internalization is an important step in ensuring high-quality instruction—it allows teachers to deeply understand the learning goals, essential questions, and assessments within a unit before teaching it. By internalizing units, teachers can plan intentionally, anticipate student needs, and deliver instruction that is more focused, engaging, and aligned to standards.
