I have gone to all three Estill schools.I feel the schools wouldn't be so bad if we didn't play favorites. Also if they didn't try to hire the whole town of Estill and get rid of some people that work for the district whom I feel is only there to get a paycheck. There are a lot of good teachers but they

I think success is a reflection of community. In the town of Estill (2007) there are still two types of schools, EHS and PHS. When the community gap is bridged, greater changes will be able to take place within the shool system. As our next president has stated, 'It takes a village to raise a child.' Together these schools can be a powerhouse! Read less
