Please join us in welcoming Mr. Alex Barker as the new head coach of Greenup Co. Boys Basketball!
Coach Barker brings with him a powerful combination of leadership, discipline, experience, and passion for building student-athletes, both on and off the court.
A standout high school athlete himself, Coach Barker was a four-year starter who scored 1,357 career points while adding 610 assists. He helped lead his team to a 64th District Championship in 2006, earned All-Area honors twice, and was named the 2006–2007 EKC Defensive Player of the Year. He was also an All-State athlete in Track and Cross Country.
Since then, he has continued building his leadership journey through coaching experience as a varsity assistant, AAU coach, and JUCO assistant, while also serving our country as an Army Veteran with the rank of Captain. Professionally, he has spent the last decade leading Continuous Improvement divisions for a Fortune 100 company in the defense industry.
But beyond the résumé, what stood out most was his heart for this community.
Coach Barker shared:
“I still remember coming to Greenup County as a player and how electric the atmosphere was when “The Greenhouse” was rocking. This is a community that rallies behind its students, athletes and its schools — and I believe there is an opportunity to build something truly special here.”
Though he may have once worn different colors, his roots are here. And now, he’s ready to pour his energy, leadership, and passion into Greenup County and work toward building one of the premier basketball programs in the area.
Most importantly, Coach Barker and his wife, Yohalicia, are excited to become part of the Musketeer family, commit to the program and connect with this community.
We will be hosting a meet-and-greet with Coach Barker, giving students, families, and community members an opportunity to welcome him personally. More details will be shared in the coming days.
Let’s rally behind him and show our support as a new chapter begins.
Coach Barker — welcome to GC!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
There are moments in life we never forget—
a teacher who believed in us…
who pushed us when we needed it…
who saw something in us before we saw it in ourselves.
That’s the kind of impact our teachers make every single day.
At Greenup County Schools, our educators do so much more than teach—they listen, they encourage, they care, and they show up for our students in ways that truly change lives.
Some lessons last a day…
but the influence of a great teacher lasts forever.
To every GC teacher—thank you for the difference you make. We see you, we appreciate you, and we are grateful for you. 💚💛

Sometimes, doing the right thing doesn’t require a second thought—it just comes naturally.
Before spring break, Hunter Houston came upon the scene of a single-vehicle accident involving a fallen tree. Without hesitation, he pulled over, jumped out, and stepped in to help—assisting deputies in clearing large portions of debris and tree limbs from the roadway to help keep others safe.
The Boyd County Sheriff’s Office later shared their appreciation for Hunter’s willingness to step up and serve others in that moment.
Hunter comes from a family rooted in service. As the son of a retired deputy sheriff, he has grown up seeing firsthand what it means to help others and give back to your community. He hopes to one day follow in those footsteps as a law enforcement officer.
When we asked why he stopped to help, Hunter kept it simple:
“I didn’t really have to think about it… it was just natural. It was the right thing to do.”
That mindset says everything.
Hunter represents the very best of our GC community—strong character, selflessness, and a commitment to helping others when it matters most.
We’re proud of you, Hunter!!
We’re excited to share that we have selected Impressive Studios to provide cap and gown photography this year for our Elementary students!
Impressive Studios has worked with numerous local schools, and we’re proud to bring this opportunity back to a local business while supporting our community.
Picture order forms and additional information will be sent home with elementary students this week.
We will use this as an opportunity to further evaluate as we assess needs for the 2026–2027 school year.
Our goal is to keep our families and community informed every step of the way, and we truly appreciate your support and understanding during this transition. While we’re hopeful everything runs smoothly, we also recognize there may be a few small adjustments along the way—and we’ll work through them together.
Thank you for your continued support! 💚💛

Today, Superintendent Hall proudly represented our school district at a meaningful event, recognizing an important piece of local and Appalachian history.
The Appalachian Freedom Initiative is a nine-county, three-state initiative to locate and document Underground Railroad sites in the tri-state region of Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia.
During the ceremony, Mr. Hall accepted a certificate and land marker officially recognizing the former Lynn Elementary School site as part of the Appalachian Freedom Heritage Project. This site has been identified as the Greenup Revolt Escape Site—an important location connected to the stories of resistance and the pursuit of freedom in our region.
We are honored to collaborate with local organizations to help preserve and share this history with our students, staff, and others. Recognizing sites like this ensures that these powerful stories are not forgotten and continue to educate future generations.
We invite our community to learn more about this important project and its impact across Appalachia:
