Daviess County Public Schools - Kids First!

Starting after Fall Break, Drew Taylor will serve as the Interim Principal of Highland Elementary School.

Mr. Taylor has been in Education for 22 years: 10 years as a Health / PE Teacher and Coach, 10 years as a school Administrator (Principal and an Assistant Principal). For the past two years, he has served as a Student Services Coordinator for DCPS.

Superintendent Broughton stated, “School admin changes during the academic year pose challenges, but I expect Mr. Taylor to provide strong leadership for Highland Elementary”.

Mr. Taylor said about his new role, “I am committed to helping continue the excellent learning at Highland Elementary. My career has been centered on fostering environments where every child feels seen, supported, challenged to achieve their personal best, and creating a community. These are my priorities for each child at Highland Elementary. Where we do “Whatever It Takes”!

DCPS schools will be closed for Fall Break Monday, October 13- Friday, October 17. We hope everyone has a great restful week and look forward to seeing everyone on Monday, October 20.

At last month's board meeting, we recognized Ashlynn Browning for winning the Poultry Public Speaking Contest at the KY FFA State Convention! Congratulations to Ashlynn and good luck at Nationals later this month.

We want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible, dedicated leaders who guide our schools every day. Our principals are the heart and soul of their campuses—they inspire students, support teachers, and partner with families to create the best possible learning environments.

Thank you, principals, for your passion, resilience, and unwavering commitment to our students!
