McCracken County High School is a high-achieving and successful student-focused high school; however, in the fall of 2024, things needed to change. In March 2025, MCHS launched our move toward becoming an academy model high school. This undertaking has resulted in creating and implementing the Freshman Academy, evaluating our CTE pathways, generating new scheduling and pathways materials, and enhancing existing community partners. This session will provide attendees with a toolkit to evaluate what they are doing well, what may be needed, and the collaboration needed between internal and external stakeholders.
