Editing Russell, Kentucky (section)

==Education==
Russell's students are served by Russell Independent Schools, which it shares with its neighbors, [[Flatwoods, Kentucky|Flatwoods]] and [[Bellefonte, Kentucky|Bellefonte]]. The main campus, which includes [[Russell High School (Kentucky)|Russell High School]], Russell Middle School, Russell Primary School and the Russell Area Technology Center, sits on the Russell/Flatwoods city line (all of the schools' mailing addresses are Russell, but they receive primary police and fire protection from [[Flatwoods, Kentucky|Flatwoods]]).

The Russell High School football field is home to a fire-breathing Red Devil, the school's mascot Rudy, who sits atop the scoreboard.  Russell High School was the 1978 Kentucky State 3A football champion, as well as the 2005 Kentucky State 2A football champion.<ref>{{cite web | title = OWENSBORO CATHOLIC vs RUSSELL (Dec 03, 2005) | publisher = Kentucky High School Athletic Association | url = http://www.khsaa.org/football/2005/2afinal.htm}}</ref>
