Our next shout-out belongs to Aubrey Ernst. Aubrey is a senior at SCHS who is concentrating in both the Horticulture and Agribusiness Systems career pathways. She has been completing a co-op with Chickapoo Farm for one year, where she assists with succession planting, fertilizing, harvesting, as well as year-round planning and marketing. Aubrey also designs fresh floral arrangements that are placed in local businesses for sale.
"I want to express my sincere appreciation to Spencer County High School and the FFA. This mentorship program has positively impacted both my personal and professional growth which I am so grateful for. Your commitment to fostering a positive and supportive learning environment is evident through each interaction that Iโve had with your faculty/staff. It has been one year since Aubrey began working with me, and I am truly impressed by her character, intelligence, work ethic and kindness. I firmly believe that along with loving and dedicated parents like Aubreyโs, โit takes a villageโ to raise a child, and I am grateful for the contributions that your school is making in helping to do so." -Gwen Weisenburger Runner, Owner of Chickapoo Farm
Thank you, Gwen, for your partnership with Spencer County Public Schools! #TogetherWeCan

Recently, Mrs. Sullivan's phlebotomy class has been practicing venipuncture. The mannequins shown simulate real arms and hands, allowing students ample time to hone their sticking techniques before moving on to real patients.
Homecoming is coming up and Project Graduation is planning a dance! More information about ticket sales will be coming soon! If you have any questions, you can email 2025schsprojgrad@gmail.com.
Another week, another opportunity to fill the stands! Come out and support the Bears!
Friday night lights are back, yโall! We canโt think of a better way to kick off the home season than with a win over Collins.
Despite the win, we hated to see Tanner get injured last night during the first half. Our thoughts and prayers are with him today, and we are hoping for a full recovery. Thank you to medical personnel who attended to him, and to the Collins players and staff who showed their support as he was taken off the field.
This week, Mrs. Goodwin's biology classes did a lab investigating the effect of exercise on cellular respiration. Students measured 3 indicators of cellular respiration (heart rate, breathing rate, and carbon dioxide production) before & after exercising, then examined the data.
As we get back into football season, be aware of fake profiles with links to tickets/ streaming services, like in the image. The best way to watch the Bears is in person, but our games are streamed on GHP Sports, and tickets can be bought on GoFan. Don't fall victim to scammers!
Tonight's girls soccer game against Collins is now varsity only and will kick off at 7:00PM. Make sure to stay hydrated if you're out in this heat!
Volleyball won their home opener 3-0 over Cornerstone Christian, improving to 2-0 on the season. Way to go, Lady Bears!
Ready for another week of action? Check out the Bears' schedule and come out to support! Keep in mind that the JV girls & boys soccer teams, plus freshman and JV volleyball teams typically play before varsity, so come out early and catch our younger students' games, too!
It was a very hands-on Friday in many of our classes! Mrs. Roberts' Culinary 1 class made refrigerator pickles as part of their food preservation unit and Mr. Gardner's Art 2 class worked on charcoal hand drawings. We love to see our students interacting with the content.

Did you know that SCHS students have the ability to gain valuable work experience and mentoring by local and regional business leaders through our work-based learning program? Follow along this academic year as we spotlight students who are excelling in their internships and co-op placements, while also acknowledging the collaboration of our employer partners who make these opportunities a reality!
Our first shout-out belongs to Lilly Graham. Lilly is an SCHS senior who is employed by the Spencer County Clerkโs Office.
โLilly has the best attitude and is so mature when talking to other government offices. I feel like we may learn as much from her as she will from us. We are looking forward to a great year!โ - Lynn Hesselbrock, Spencer County Clerk
Thank you, Clerk Hesselbrock, for your commitment to the success of our Spencer County students! Together, we CAN build a strong education and workforce system for our community.
Boys soccer took care of business in their home opener against Henry County tonight, walking away with a 7-1 victory over the Wildcats. Their next match is Wednesday at Thomas Nelson at 6:30.
Mrs. Ferguson is going to Edinburgh, Yorkshire, Stratford, London in Summer 2025, and youโre invited!

- How this opportunity will benefit your student
- What weโll see and do on our trip
- Everything thatโs included in this experience
