Boone County, KY

As an educator in the Boone County Public School district, I am passionate about public education. I began my career as an English teacher at Boone County High School in 1998, and it quickly became my home. It is where I belong. Over these years I have watched our district grow, and my proudest moments are walking into our school commons each day and seeing the diversity of students and their diversity of interests. I have been fortunate to teach future carpenters, doctors, judges, and plumbers. I have watched my students start their own salons, trucking, car repair, and other small businesses. I have watched thousands of students leave our campus and become successful, thriving adults.

Opinion – Kelly Read: I’m a teacher and I will be voting NO on Kentucky’s Ballot Amendment 2 in November
