We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have really loved my experience at Boyd County High School. The staff has been very helpful with my studies and struggles. I had a little bit of anxiety coming back to school after Covid and everyone they made sure I felt safe and secure. I was on the varsity swim team for 5 years and loved it. I am now focusing on band and our band director has been the most inspirational person to me. He believed in me when I wasn't sure that I believed in myself and now I am confident in my concert performances and plan to continue playing my saxophone at Morehead State University.

Overall my experience was good. There were some schedueling struggles but they were resolved with the councelors help. I feel safe at school and always have something to work on to pass time. I would like to see more opportunities open up agriculturally.
