Fayette County • May 27, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Fayette County. Behind every successful business lies a commitment to community that extends far beyond the bottom line. Nick Epifano's McDonald's exemplifies this spirit, earning well-deserved recognition as the Chamber of Commerce's Business of the Month for his generous contributions that help our county thrive. His leadership reminds us that local businesses serve as anchors for community well-being, bringing together diverse stakeholders from banks to government offices in celebration of shared values.

As one chapter of leadership concludes with Principal Bryan Sheets' retirement following Miami Trace High School's emotional graduation ceremony for 176 seniors, another begins with Washington Court House schools' superintendent search. The district is moving swiftly to find Dr. Tom Bailey's replacement, with applications being accepted through June 13 and community input welcomed via an online questionnaire. These transitions highlight how education remains the cornerstone of our community's future.
