Lighthouse Academy at Newburg has concluded an eight-year partnership as a 21st Century Community Learning Center. We continue our communication and partnership with Jefferson County Public Schools and the Kentucky Department of Education to provide appropriate intervention in our Out of School time program. We provide enrichment programs along with tutoring in areas such as reading, math, science, and technology. Our students have access to research-based computer programs that unify their school day to JCPS and at our facility.

Cynthia Overall became our Director of Operations and Student Services, effective as of August 1, 2015. She has been an integral part of the success we have enjoyed in our mission of helping the children of this area since May 2010. As such, she is our longest serving employee! Prior to coming to Lighthouse, Cynthia served as a Mental Health Paraprofessional/Classroom Technician for 5 years and had numerous years of working with the public.
