LICKING R-VIII SCHOOL DISTRICT - Home of the Wildcats

The Wildcat golf team traveled to Bent Creek golf course in Jackson. The course was tough and the greens were fast. Great weather for golf.

Yesterday some FFA members got the opportunity to step into leadership roles at the mill! They helped in giving guided tours to the Licking Elementary 4th graders.

It was awesome to see them share their knowledge, explain the process, and help younger students connect classroom learning to real-world agriculture.

Congratulations to Kolten Sullins on qualifying for the Class 2 golf State Championship.

Licking Elementary would like to extend a MASSIVE THANK YOU to Grady Rae's Coffee for proving delicious drinks to the staff today! It was a wonderful surprise and the caffeine was much appreciated by all! We are thankful for your generosity and support!

Some Ag students planted flowers for the City of Licking's planter outside the city hall.

📣Attention 7th and 8th grade parents and families: Please join us for the Junior High Award Ceremony on Thursday, May 14, at 9 am in the Sherman Hill Field House. 🎉
