What was in your school classroom? I remember desks in straight rows, colorful posters on the wall and a big blackboard up front.

Joel Lovesee is superintendent of Unified School District 205, which includes the Bluestem schools in Leon. Joel grew up in Kinsley and went to Fort Hays State University, where he met his wife, Sonya. He became a teacher and later a school administrator. In 2008, he and his family moved to Leon, where he became school principal. He was promoted to superintendent in 2013.
