Before opening the LaRue County Animal Clinic in 1976, he graduated from Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine with a degree in veterinary science, and completed his undergrad at the University of Kentucky.

 In the wake of the resignation of LaRue County High School Principal Paul Mullins, the school’s site-based decision-making council is “left with the difficult task of replacing” him, said council member and teacher Justin Craft.

Mullins, after eight years at the helm of LCHS, has accepted a position as superintendent of schools in Garrard County.

At its last meeting, the council approved an online survey to gather information from the community on “what qualities it wants in our next principal at LCHS.”
