The Lighthouse Beacon Foundation is proud to welcome its newest class of Lighthouse Beacon Scholars!  Founded by Stanley and Karen Pigman, the Lighthouse Beacon Foundation was created to help students across Eastern Kentucky gain access to higher education opportunities, particularly in STEM fields.

Lighthouse Beacon Scholars attend the University of Kentucky to pursue degrees in engineering and related STEM fields. Today, more than 160 scholars are part of the program, with the number continuing to grow each year as the foundation expands its investment in students across Eastern Kentucky. The foundation’s mission extends far beyond financial support. Lighthouse Beacon Scholars are connected with mentors, leadership development opportunities, study abroad experiences, and a strong network of encouragement that continues throughout their college journey. At its core, the Lighthouse Beacon Foundation is committed to building lasting relationships with students and helping them succeed not only in college, but in life.  Recipients are chosen not only for academic achievement, but also for their leadership, work ethic, and commitment to their communities.  

Congratulations Cooper Spears, Pulaski County High School and Ethan Hatter, Southwestern High School!

Welcome to Pulaski County Schools

OUR Vision and Mission

Vision:  Every student - Transition Ready

Mission:  Pulaski County Schools will provide a safe, supportive environment to meet the individual needs of all students and ensure they are ready for the transition to college or a career.

Core Purpose:   Prepare all students to be productive and successful citizens.

Core Beliefs:  We believe all students should be surrounded by a learning environment that ensures their safety, stimulates their minds, and challenges their abilities.  We believe in establishing high standards, analyzing data to measure achievement and find performance gaps, and then acting upon the findings for the purpose of continuous improvement.  We believe in the continuous pursuit of excellence in student achievement, academic rigor, and instructional quality.  We believe collaboration with students, faculty, staff, families, and key community and state stakeholders is vital to our students' and district's success.  We believe equity, fairness, and diversity are fundamental to a healthy education system; we value individual differences and contributions of a diverse student body and staff.  We believe in the development of students’ upright character so they may become conscientious and productive citizens in a complex and interconnected world.
