Today, Kyrock Elementary hosted a reception lunch for their new principal, Mrs. Brandy Kinser Meredith.

Mrs. Brandy began her journey with Kyrock seven years ago as the guidance counselor, but has been in the education field for 22 years.

Superintendent Brian Alexander started things off by thanking everyone who was in attendance and then shared his thoughts on the hiring of Meredith.

"It was sad to see Mr. Stice go, but when one door closes another one opens, and that door led us to this. We interviewed different people, some were good and some were great, but one was incredible and that was Mrs. Brandy. She truly showed us that she has Kyrock Elementary in her heart and soul, and we are beyond thrilled to have one of our own to take this role. She was great as a counselor and I have no doubt she will be a great principal."

Mrs. Brandy Meredith speaks at her reception dinner as the Kyrock Elementary principal.

Mrs. Brandy spoke about her background and what this opportunity means to her.

'I grew up in a single parent household where my mother worked so hard at a factory. I am the first person in my extended family to graduate from college. I started my career in education about 22 years ago, and never dreamed I would be a principal. I taught at South Edmonson for 15 years, and my daughter and I moved to Kyrock school district seven years ago when I became the counselor," she paused and became emotional. "I knew very quickly this was where I belonged. I just felt at home here. I love Edmonson County, I love this school. This is the honor of a lifetime and I am so thankful. I am thankful for each and every one of you, and most importantly I want to thank God for making this possible."

Mr. Alexander also thanked the Kyrock PTO for putting together and paying for the lunch today, and he also gave a special thank you to Kyrock SBDM for sitting through all of the interviews, and helping him "make the best choice".
