Barren County Youth Services Center 

Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSC) were established as a result of the passage of the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA) in 1990. The primary goal of our Center is to remove barriers to students learning. Centers assist students and families through various programs, referrals to outside agencies, and by partnering with groups within and outside of our school.

Our Center serves the Barren County Middle School students and their families.
