BARBOURVILLE Knox County Middle School beat the odds. Of more than 400 middle schools statewide, only 4 emerged as “Bright Spot” schools. Knox Middle was one of those schools.
A former News Journal Society Editor was recognized Monday for her excellence as a teacher.
Fatemia Fuson teaches dual credit mathematics at Knox Central High School, and worked at the News Journal from 2008 – 2014. She was one of three Knox County teachers honored with the award.
Fuson, Kara Bailey and Bethany Miracle all received a surprise visit from their principals in their classroom Monday to notify them that they are recipients of Campbellsville University’s Excellence in Teaching Award.
The purpose of this award from Campbellsville University is to recognize quality teaching in Kentucky schools and to strengthen the field of education. It provides statewide recognition to three outstanding individuals for their leadership and dedication to the teaching profession. Implicit in the award is the expectation that the recipients’ examples may inspire all teachers to excel.
