Profile of a Trojan

Barren County Schools’ Profile of a Trojan identifies six qualities we help students develop to succeed in school and pursue their future plans and dreams: skill and knowledge mastery, creative thinking, initiative, accountability, effective communication, and teamwork. These qualities guide students as they learn to apply what they know, solve problems, take initiative, accept responsibility, communicate clearly, and work well with others. Through classroom learning and experiences across our schools, students build the skills and habits they need to BeCome Life Ready.
