Discover our Support Materials for Students
Take a peek at some of the resources the Library has to support learning at home.
Through the official website, Smoke Signals Student Media strives to reach the George Rogers Clark High School and community audience with a variety of stories and features about a variety of topics.
George Rogers Clark’s Smoke Signals newspaper first began as a tradition of excellence in 1958 as the official publication of Winchester High School in Clark County, Kentucky. The paper derived its name from the school mascot, the Shawnees.
When Winchester High School and Clark County High School merged to form George Rogers Clark High School in 1963, the students elected to keep the Smoke Signals name and preserve its tradition.
Mental Health Resources and Support for Youth in Crisis
988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline
Like 911 and other national, 3-digit phone numbers, 988 was created to be easier to remember and make crisis care easier to access. Available 24/7/365 and free-of-charge, callers to 988 will connect with a compassionate, highly trained counselor who can help address their issues as smoothly as possible.
The library - and the community at large - are here to help you find what you need. Find help in our community for whatever problems you or your friends face.
