North Drive Middle hires new principal
Staff reports

Kim Stevenson, the assistant principal at North Drive Middle School, was hired as the school’s principal following a site-based council meeting Friday afternoon.

Stevenson was chosen from a pool of 11 applicants and was one of the two interviewed, according to a Christian County Public School news release.

The decision was made based on council discussions and the results of a community survey on the district’s website. On Monday, the site-based council reviewed applicants for the position for the first time. Recent changes to Kentucky school law allowed superintendents to serve on the site-based councils.

However, before former Superintendent Brady Link left the district he appointed Laura Morris, director of personnel, to chair the council in his place.

In addition to her administrative experience, Stevenson was a math teacher at Hopkinsville High School for four years. She graduated from Austin Peay State University and received her master’s degree and Rank 1 certification from Murray State University.

Her first day as principal will be July 23.
