Owsley County High celebrates school year with Air Raid field trip
Owsley County High wrapped the year with a London outing that paired Air Raid fun with peer mentors, teachers, and end-of-year recognition for 6th- and 7th-graders.
Owsley County High School closed out the school year with a trip that was as much about belonging as it was about fun. On May 21, 6th- and 7th-grade students joined teachers and student peer mentors for a field trip to Air Raid in London, a reward that school leaders said gave the group a chance to celebrate another strong year at OCHS.
The outing mattered because it brought younger students and the adults who help guide them into the same celebration. For a rural school like Owsley County High, that kind of shared time can reinforce the habits that get students through a long year: attendance, effort, and persistence. The school’s update said the group had “a great time celebrating another great school year at OCHS,” a message that framed the trip as recognition for finishing together, not just a break from class.
Air Raid at 205 Shiloh Drive is a 30,000-square-foot indoor family entertainment center built for large groups, with trampolines, a ninja course, climbing obstacles, arcade games, foam pits, trampoline basketball, a rock wall, kids’ areas, and party rooms. Its layout made it a natural fit for a school celebration, giving students room to move while keeping the day structured around a common reward.
The Air Raid trip also fit into a wider pattern of end-of-year activities at Owsley County High. Another school post said 6th graders enjoyed Air Raid and a pizza party as they wrapped up their KSAs and their first year at OCHS. A separate post said 7th graders spent a day fishing and fellowshipping at Buckhorn Campground, ending the KSAs and the school year with a different kind of celebration.
Together, those events show how Owsley County schools are using end-of-year outings to mark progress and build confidence. Owsley County School District is a small district with two schools and 727 students in 2024-25, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, and the U.S. Census Bureau estimated the county’s population at 3,932 on July 1, 2025. In a setting that size, celebrations like the Air Raid trip carry more weight than a simple reward: they help students see their work recognized and their place in the school community affirmed before summer begins.
