Cougar News is Bullitt Central’s weekly newsletter with important updates, upcoming dates, and celebrations for our students, families, and community.
Legacy Builders

This year, our theme is “Build The Legacy.” Each week, we will be highlighting students in our weekly newsletter who are making a positive impact in our school and community—our very own “Legacy Builders.”

These students demonstrate leadership, community involvement, and the values that help shape a lasting legacy at BCHS. We are proud to celebrate their achievements and inspire others to follow their example!

Transformational Lesson of the Week! ✨🩺

We’re excited to recognize Ms. Hensley for leading an outstanding transformational learning experience in her Allied Health classes!

Her students began by exploring healthcare careers with guest speaker (and BC alum!) Liz McGuire, Director of Health Education at the Bullitt County Health Department. They then took their learning beyond the classroom—visiting our local elementary schools to teach younger students the importance of proper handwashing.

This lesson went far beyond health skills. It empowered students to:
✅ Apply knowledge in real-world settings
✅ Serve as leaders and role models in the community
✅ Demonstrate our Graduate Profile competencies as Community Contributors, Effective Communicators, and Productive Collaborators

Ms. Hensley’s work exemplifies what transformational learning looks like at BCHS—connecting students to careers, to their community, and to meaningful learning experiences that last.

Way to go, Ms. Hensley and Allied Health students! 🐾
