Rockcastle County Middle School students in Social Studies and Language Arts BRAVO researched historic figures in order to write monologues as these characters.
Students who were chosen to share their monologues with visiting 5th grade students were:
Gracelyn Owens declared the right of women to pursue their dreams as the first female medical doctor, Elizabeth Blackwell.
Michael Allen brought Alfred Nobel, creator of dynamite and the Nobel Peace Prize, back to life for a day!
Zach Taylor portrayed Samuel Adams, one of America’s founding fathers.
Jacob Cook used the well-known quote, “Give me liberty or give me death!” to catch the audience’s attention during his monologue as Patrick Henry.
7th grader Joseph Frith presented some of Abraham Lincoln’s most notable contributions to American history.
Seven students from Rockcastle County have been selected to attend The Center for Rural Development’s 2015 Rogers Explorers youth leadership program.
Rockcastle County Middle School students Caroline White, Cole Ballinger, Zoe Burdette, Joseph Coffey, Evan Hendrickson, Jordan Nicely, and Bailey Taylor will join middle school students from across Southern and Eastern Kentucky to build their math, science, and technology skills.
One hundred and eighty students—the largest class ever—will converge on the campuses of six Kentucky colleges and universities this summer for the Rogers Explorers program.
“Rogers Explorers gives students a one-of-a-kind learning experience to explore different career opportunities and possible career paths in the fields of math, science, and technology,” said Delaney Stephens, community liaison and youth programs coordinator for The Center. “The program also encourages creative thinking and teamwork and builds leadership skills as the region’s next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs.”
Rogers Explorers is presented by The Center for Rural Development in partnership with Lindsey Wilson College, University of the Cumberlands, Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University, Asbury University, and the University of Pikeville.
The program is open to eighth-grade middle school students within The Center’s 45-country primary service area who have a strong interest in developing their skills in leadership, technology, math, science, and community service.
For more information about Rogers Explorers, call The Center at 606-677-6000, email youth@centertech.com, or visit www.centeryouthprogams.com.

Stormi Begley, Nichole Griffin, and Aden Amburgey created a scale model of the Washington National Cathedral for their 8th grade Math/Science BRAVO project. After creating a 2-dimensional design, they used cardboard, paint, and ingenuity to make a table top model to scale. They also wowed the class during their presentation by pointing out the actual cathedral in D.C. is where Helen Keller is buried, and discussing how the shadows on their model were painted to represent how the building’s shadows would be cast at 2:30 in the afternoon, since it faces west. By incorporating math, science, architecture principles, elements of art, and principles of design, these students have demonstrated just how well-rounded they are. Very impressive!
