Harlan Independent Schools

(Harlan, Ky) The Kentucky Governor’s Cup Academic Team Championships continue to stack up for the Harlan Independent Schools. All three schools swept the district competition for the fifth straight year. With Harlan Elementary School's recent win, the Dragons have now won district titles in the High School, Middle School, and Elementary divisions dating back to 2020.

Students across the county gathered to compete in the academic competition and a chance to advance to the regional competition in March. The Harlan Elementary School Academic Team recorded 80 points to take top honors in the District 103 competition held at JACES.

A perfect team score is achieved when students from the same school win the top three places in each assessment area while also winning the Quick Recall and the Future Problem-Solving competition. Harlan Elementary narrowly missed the mark winning 16 of the 18 possible assessment area placements, on their way to the second-highest team score in school history. The Green Dragons scored a whopping 81 points in 2020. 

Capturing 1^st place this year marks the Green Dragons' seventh consecutive district title and will defend their regional reign of five championships in March. Wallins was runner-up with 20.5 points while JACES secured 3^rd place with 17. Cawood Elementary rounded out the competition with 5.5 points to capture 4th place.

The Green Dragons are coached by Mr. Brent Roy, Mrs. LeAnne Chasteen, and Mrs. Sierra Crow.

The top five finishers in each subject area assessment will advance to regional competition.
