On this special episode of the Panthers Pawcast, Jeff is joined by Superintendent David Trimble and Instructional Supervisor/Director of Districtwide Services & Assessment Taffie Wells to break down the district’s biggest achievement of the year: Pikeville Independent Schools earned the No. 1 ranking in Kentucky on last year’s statewide assessments.
They walk through the data, how the district reached the top spot, and what this means for students, staff, and the entire Pikeville community. This is a milestone worth celebrating, and the Pawcast has the full story.

Good evening Panther Families! We have given our roadways time this evening to determine if freezing will become an issue. Each bridge we have travelled is extremely slick and ice covered, and with temperatures remaining in the 20's through late morning, it doesn't appear conditions will improve in a way that will be safe for our buses, students, faculty and staff to safely travel to school. As a result, there will be NO SCHOOL for Pikeville Independent Schools on Tuesday, November 11th, 2025.
I apologize for the late message, but my hope is that making the call this evening will assist families in making childcare plans for tomorrow, and not interrupt work and other activities. We are excited for the Veteran's Day program, and hope to be able to move that to Wednesday morning.
Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience as we work to always strive to keep all members of our Panther Family safe. I hope you have a blessed and safe evening!

Good afternoon! I hope each of you are enjoying this cold day. Pikeville Independent Schools will be completing the school day with regular dismissal times today. After conversation with the National Weather Service, and in looking at the future radars at our disposal, we have made the determination that ALL after school activities will be completed by 5pm.
There are some changes to schedules of previously planned activities and some have been cancelled, and all that communication will come through individual coaches. Students will be asked by coaches to depart at the completion of the activity time and make their way home.
It does not appear that we should have significant weather this evening, but there is the possibility, and with cold temperatures and chances of accumulating snow through the dusk hours, we felt it necessary to make this decision. We work hard to make sure that we always do our best to make the decision that we believe to be safest for our students, staff, and families. We hope you have a blessed and safe evening!

Dear Families and Community Partners,
As we move into the holiday season, our Family Resource & Youth Services Center (FRYSC) is reaching out to invite your continued support for our students and families. Each year, your generosity helps ensure children in our community have the essentials they need — from clothing and school supplies to a little extra joy during Christmas.
🎄 Sponsor a Child for Christmas
We’re currently organizing our annual holiday assistance program. Sponsors are paired with a child or family and provided with a wish list of items or sizes. This support makes a huge difference in helping every child experience the joy of the season.
🤝 Support Throughout the Year
Beyond the holidays, FRYSC assists families with food, hygiene items, clothing, and other needs that arise throughout the school year. You can choose to make a one-time donation or commit to sponsoring ongoing needs.
If you would like to participate, please fill out the Google Form linked here. We’ll reach out to share the details on how you can help.
Thank you for being a part of our Panther family and for helping us make a difference in the lives of our students all year long.

Good morning! After meeting with Kentucky Power, a full replacement of the pole will be required and will be a job that will take the majority of the day. Power cannot be restored until that time. As a result, Pikeville Independent Schools will be closed today, Thursday, October 30th. Thank you for your patience and understanding. I hope you have a blessed day!
