I have seen a growth in Boyd County High School over the past two years as we got a new principal. The past principal was great about keeping students happy and having a positive environment in a fun mental health way however many students academics were suffering due to the focus on having fun instead of getting prepared for college. The new principal is doing his best to maintain a balance between student life and mental health but also putting enough focus on our academics and college readiness.
