One of our favorite holiday traditions is to roll out a Christmas card that highlights an active design project from that year. We thought it might be fun to share our cards from 2013 to the present and hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

12/08/2025

This year’s card features Estill County Middle School, an innovative design that will be built in Irvine, Kentucky. The versatile facility will see grades being organized into individualized wings that radiate from a modern educational hub. (This is currently in design stage and is a work in progress; consider accordingly.)

Merry Christmas from all of us at Deco!

Twinsies! You probably know about these twin projects for County Schools - but have you seen inside them? These Wellness Centers are located at Northern and Southern Middle, respectively, and are already getting a lot of use!

Thank you to the District and our design/construction partners; we are proud of the smooth delivery.

Mr. Dyehouse was the first school superintendent to take a chance on Deco at the beginning of his time at Science Hill Independent. Because of his trust and recommendation, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with school districts across Kentucky in the years since.

So, it was a special honor for our Vice President—and former teacher—Jessica Phillips to speak at Opening Day for Science Hill Independent this morning. This district is where our journey in K–12 education began, and today marks the start of the final school year before Mr. Dyehouse’s well-earned retirement.

To all of our school partners across the state, we wish you a safe, successful, and inspiring school year. This is such an exciting time for students, teachers, and staff alike. Many of life’s most cherished memories are made in school—and we’re deeply honored to support the work happening every day in Kentucky’s public schools.
