Two more reasons to love Boone County

... as if you needed more!

As reported in this story, graduation rates in Boone County high schools are among the highest in the state, over 90%.

There was also a nice item in Monday's Lebanon Reporter about LHS principal Kevin O'Rourke and assistant principals Kari Ottinger and Chad Briggs scraping the snow and ice off student cars in the parking lot as school is letting out. A parent waiting to pick up her student saw this, took a photo, and submitted it to the paper. When I showed it to my high school daughters, they said they didn't think it was that big of a deal, because they've seen the administrators do this often!

Parking-lot duty is a fact of life for school staff, and I can't imagine they love it, especially in snowy, freezing weather. But the LHS administrators go that extra mile, cleaning off students' cars for safety and just to be helpful. You gotta love it!
