Hearn Elementary School
The 2008-09 school year is an exciting time at Hearn Elementary School in Frankfort, Kentucky. We have been blessed with a new building with state of the art technology and room to grow. The classrooms are big enough for the children to move and spread out. They are no longer crammed into a small classroom. The construction of the building stayed on schedule and the staff worked very hard to ensure that the children would not be adversely influenced by the change. The Back to School Bash just set the stage for an exciting year. I certainly believe that Hearn is off to a great start. For the first time, Hearn now provides an after school program for the students. They have already conducted a play and gone on a field trip during fall break. The children seem to love it and they are providing a great service to the community. My third grader is loving school and is being challenged to excel. This is a result of the type of teachers they have at Hearn. Led by a supportive and motivating principal, they recognize potential in each child and encourage creativity that inspires a passion for learning. We not only have a beautiful building to be proud of, but an administration to be proud of too.

Hearn Elementary School
The decision to move our daughter from a rigorous private school to the public schools was huge for us.
We couldn't be more pleased with her progress at Hearn. The administration and all the staff are top-notch, and her progress has been amazing. She loves to go to school every day, and her friends are diverse in terms of race, ethnicity, religion, and disability. We consider that a definite bonus.
We are so pleased that she is in this rapidly improving school.
