Education

Shelley Badgett has been selected as principal by the New Haven School Site Based Decision Making Council.

Badgett was selected May 10.

Badgett comes to New Haven from Washington County, where she has been a special education teacher since 2004 at North Washington Elementary School, and also served as the Early College High School Program Coordinator for the Washington County Board of Education. Like NHS, North Washington is a rural K-8 school.

For Doris Jean Holleran, her classroom at LaRue County Middle School was her home away from home for the past 17 years.

Holleran, who taught math courses and coached the Math Counts and the Academic Team, retired in May.

Holleran spent four years in the Fayette County School system before accepting a job in LaRue in 1984. She taught in LaRue County for 29 years.

A 1975 graduate of LaRue County High School, Holleran said she was thrilled to teach in her home county.

 Three LaRue County High School students attended Kentucky Farm Bureau’s Institute for Future Agriculture Leaders.

 More than 1,000 LaRue County elementary students will receive free meals at school when classes resume in August.
