Sixty students from all three Oldham County high schools were promoted at a ceremony for the Junior Guard program late last week.

The ceremony, which was split into three sessions, promoted the students from cadets to cadet sergeants and cadet staff sergeants.

Sergeant Major Tim Anderson, the instructor of the program, stressed the importance of several attributes to the program.

“It is as much about academics as it is physical fitness and leadership,” Anderson said.

The members of Do Something Good Club teamed up with the National Honor Society and Beta Club at North Oldham High School to help local business KaZoing! fulfill its annual donation event. The three groups combined to collect 165 toys, in addition to those already collected, to give out to foster children during a day of play at the business. KaZoing! owner Karri Gerdemann said she thanked the “amazing young people” for their help.

Nearly two years after state lawmakers passed a bill raising the state’s dropout age to 18 years old, Oldham County Schools officially adopted that age as their dropout minimum as well.
