Order #2025-99 - Motion Passed:  Superintendent Martin Pollio recommends the Board of Education receive the recognitions for June 10, 2025. The recommendation passed with a motion by Mr. Taylor Everett and a second by Mr. Trevin Bass.

Three JCPS schools are celebrating achieving model status designations from the National Career Academy Coalition (NCAC). All four of Seneca High School’s academies (Freshman Academy, Agri-Science & Leadership Academy, Health Science Academy, and Innovate Academy) achieved model status. Notably, Seneca’s Freshman Academy earned model status with distinction with a near-perfect score, reflecting the school’s exemplary learning environment.

Fern Creek’s Freshman Academy was also awarded model status by the NCAC, recognizing its excellence in all 10 National Standards of Practice. Fern Creek plans to submit its upper academies for review next year.

Kammerer Middle School is the first middle school in the country to receive NCAC national accreditation for its career exploration programs. NCAC recently began accepting applications from middle schools to receive model status, and Kammerer was the first to be approved. Kammerer met the same 10 national standards that high school academy programs must meet.

Career academies are designed to prepare students for both college and careers. They are schools within schools that link students with peers, teachers, and community partners in a structured environment that fosters academic success. The career academy concept has three key elements:

• A small learning community (SLC)
• A college-prep sequential curriculum with a career theme
• An advisory board that forges partnerships with employers, higher education institutions, and the community

The Academy Model in JCPS has significantly increased student graduation and post-secondary readiness rates.

Two Eastern High School students took home the top prize in software development at the Technology Student Association state competition. Congratulations to Griffin Siebert and Josh Mattingly, whose project uses a barcode scanner to update database information. The goal is to integrate with Infinite Campus, allowing attendance to be immediately updated when students enter/leave the school building for work-based learning assignments. This is similar to work badges issued by companies for their employees. Griffin and Josh qualified to compete in the Technology Student Association national conference this summer.
