About

Taylor County School District is located in Campbellsville, Kentucky and serves over 2,500 P-12 students. Superintendent Roger Cook is in his seventh year of service at Taylor County. The district recently expanded to four schools; Taylor County High School, led by Principal Laura Benningfield, Taylor County Middle School, led by Principal Danita Johnson, Taylor County Intermediate School where Donna Williams serves as Principal, and Taylor County Primary Center, under the leadership of Principal Melissa Long.

Taylor County School District’s mission is to provide an equal opportunity for all children to reach their maximum potential. Under Cook’s leadership, the schools began participating in Performance-Based Education and Personalized Learning models – teachers do not teach grades, they teach students. The district’s acceleration policy gives students the opportunity to move to a higher grade level if data shows they are advanced in certain academic subjects. One of the many benefits of the model is that once students have completed their high school credits in a subject, they can begin taking college credits through the Virtual Program at a significantly reduced rate.
