Education

Cody Rice and Dustin Graham, two auto tech seniors at Grant County High School, won second place in Kentucky’s Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills Competition. The challenge was to troubleshoot, diagnose and repair the 2013 Ford Focus faster and better. With the timer set, each team faced their challenge at Heritage Hall (Rupp Arena) in Lexington. Ten Ford vehicles had been uniformly “bugged” with multiple ailments. The teams were given the car’s symptoms and they were off to work.

Williamstown High School Principal Dave Johnstone hopes his second retirement lasts longer than his first.

Johnstone initially retired in September 2009 after spending 20 years as principal in four different schools in northern Kentucky.

Six months later, he replaced former WHS principal Misty Buchanan on an interim basis before being hired for the job full-time.
Johnstone will be retiring again after this school year.
