Floyd County Schools Superintendent Anna Shepherd congratulates our STLP teams for their outstanding showing at the State STLP Showcase held at Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY.

Shepherd comments, “Congratulations to all of our STLP teams and coaches. Floyd County has a winning tradition in STLP, and this year proved that our students and coaches are among the elite in our state. As our district-level coordinator for STLP, Mike Bell, always says, these students have spent hours and hours creating, building, working on, and revising projects, and these projects are to help others. Learning teamwork, along with technology and a multitude of other skills with the goal of helping others, may just be one of the best things our
students can be involved in at school.” On Wednesday, April 19, 2023, the following individuals and teams brought home awards to Floyd County.
