Work has already begun to create a level building site for the new Robertson County School building on the corner of U.S. 62 and Kentucky 616 near Mount Olivet.

Mother Nature was no match Wednesday night for the determination of those who have spent more than a decade pressing for a new school for Robertson County students. With rain pouring down, and the ground-breaking ceremony moved indoors, officials recounted what brought the group together and will result in an entire new educational complex on the corner of U.S. 62 and Kentucky 616 in the next 18 months. Known as Deming School for decades, the new complex will be known as Robertson County School, and house all grade levels, officials said.
