Christine Powell, assistant principal of Anderson County High
School, is Kentucky's 2005 Assistant Principal of the Year.
Chosen from a statewide pool of candidates, Powell was selected
for the award based on the high quality instructional leadership
she provides to students and staff at school each day.
“Christine ensures our students are exposed to research-based
instructional strategies in the classroom,” said Anderson
Principal Ray Woodyard. “Her vast knowledge of state and
national curriculum requirements enabled us to exceed our performance
target as prescribed by the state of Kentucky.”
Anderson Asst. Superintendent Steve Burkich added, “The
hallmark of Ms. Powell's leadership is demonstrated by her knowledge
of learning, teaching, research, and programs that maximize student
performance.”
Throughout her education career, Powell has held numerous posts,
including her current position as assistant principal, curriculum
director, and English/French and journalism teacher.
The Assistant Principal of the Year program, sponsored by NASSP,
Virco, Inc., and KASSP, recognizes outstanding secondary school
assistant principals who have demonstrated excellent leadership
to staff and students, service to their communities, and contributions
to the overall profession of educational leadership.
Powell was recognized at KASSP's winter conference in late January.
In addition, she competed with 51 other state finalists for the
National Assistant Principal of the Year award.
