The Hardin County Schools Superintendent's Student Advisory Council is raising funds for childhood cancer research by selling T-shirts. The council is comprised of a ninth grade, tenth grade, eleventh grade and 12th grade student enrolled at Central Hardin High School, John Hardin High School and North Hardin High School.
The students on the council approached HCS Superintendent Teresa Morgan about a project that would benefit the community and help students from across the district unify in those same efforts.
"I want to thank these wonderful students for their kindness and creativity," Mrs. Morgan said. "I appreciate their dedication to making an impact that will help others. This effort is a great example of their superb leadership."
They have organized a t-shirt sales campaign. John Hardin High School Student Zania Williams for designed the t-shirt. Students and staff received an email from the district that included a video from the Superintendent's Student Advisory Council and link to purchase the t-shirt (CLICK HERE to watch the video). That same information was also sent to parents of district students.
A shirt can be purchased for $10 at this link. T-shirt orders will be taken online only. Sales will end on March 21.
The money raised from the t-shirt sales will be divided between the St. Baldrick's Foundation (an organization focused on research) and the Addison Jo Blair Foundation (a Hardin County organization started by two HCS educators whose child passed away from cancer that helps families cope with a childhood cancer diagnosis).
Several businesses have donated funds to help sales directly to the organizations instead of the the printing of the shirts. They are:

The Kentucky Department of Education announced that John Hardin High School is among the only 31 Kentucky high schools that have received the prestigious College Success Award from greatschools.org, the nation’s leading nonprofit school information site.
Now in its sixth year, the recognition honors public high schools that excel at preparing students to enroll and succeed in college, as determined by available data in each state.
“We appreciate this recognition,” John Hardin High School principal Mark Wells said. It is great to see JHHS staff and students receive recognition for their hard work. I’m tremendously proud of everyone in the Bulldog family. Our staff and students work hard to reach success even after their time at JHHS is complete. This validates that our strategies are working and that John Hardin High School is a great place to learn, grow and prepare for life after graduation.”
Kentucky’s recipients are among 1,436 winners in 19 states that have demonstrated successful track records of graduating students who enroll in two- or four-year colleges, are ready for college-level coursework and persist on to their second year. College readiness is crucial for high school students’ future success as companies still overwhelmingly hire candidates with a college degree.
According to the Kentucky Department of Education, the College Success Award is possible because Kentucky is leading the nation in both collecting and transparently sharing information on how students perform after high school, which is valuable information for families, educators and policymakers.
