School Notes
- We are a small 4-room school grades K-8 located in Howardstown, Kentucky. We are excited about the 2024-25 school year. Our small class size gives each child one-on-one time with instructors. Tuition is affordable and assistance is available to those who qualify through the Archdiocese of Louisville Catholic tuition assistance program. We enroll students of any race or religion. The Nelson County School System provides a mobile learning unit to tutor students, during the school day, who have speech and reading issues. The Nelson County Library Book Mobile also comes bi-weekly. We're prepared for whatever the upcoming school year may bring.
