Adair County High School is one of 56 schools across the country chosen to make one-of-a-kind ornaments for the 2019 National Christmas Tree display in Washington, D.C.
Each year the National Christmas Tree is surrounded by trees in President's Park representing each of the country's states, territories, and District of Columbia. The National Park Service and U.S. Department of Education worked with state leaders to select a Kentucky school to represent the Commonwealth, eventually choosing Adair County High School.
The handcrafted ornaments will adorn 56 smaller trees that surround the National Christmas Tree. The 56 trees represent each U.S. state, territory and the District of Columbia as part of the America Celebrates display. Over 1,500 students will participate in this year’s project. The project is funded by the National Park Foundation.
The America Celebrates display is one of the highlights of the National Christmas Tree experience, which will begin on Thursday, Dec. 5th, 2019 with the 97th Annual National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.
Congratulations ACHS!!
