Superintendent Adkins announces the results for Floyd County Schools’ academic team students who competed in the Kentucky Association for Academic Competition (KAAC) District Governor’s Cup this past Saturday.
District level competitions consist of 4 teams of students and that is why Floyd County Schools are in two districts. District 81 consists of Adams Middle, Allen Elementary, Betsy Layne Elementary and Duff-Allen Central Elementary. District 82 has John M Stumbo Elementary and South Floyd Elementary from our county and Mullins Elementary and Pikeville High School from Pike County.
Superintendent Adkins comments, “Congratulations District 81 Champs Adams Middle who swept their tournament as they earned 1st place in Quick Recall and in Future Problem Solving (FPS) competitions! We also want to congratulate Duff-Allen Central as the overall District 81 and Quick Recall Runners Up. Congratulations to the District 82 FPS Champs and overall Runner Up South Floyd Elementary! Congratulations John M Stumbo on being District Runner Up in Quick Recall! And lastly, we want to congratulate our individual students who placed in these competitions!”
When asked about how this year has been for these students, Adkins replied “We are so very proud of our academic teams and the hard work they put into preparing for these competitions. This year has been very different for them. This year they have practiced and competed virtually and we are glad to see these outstanding students succeed regardless of the venue.”
Adkins concluded, “Our teams who placed 1st or 2nd and our individual students who placed in the top 5 will be competing at the regional level on January 30th. Please join us in congratulating their success and in wishing them the best of luck at regionals!”
