Darren Doyle, story:
Superintendent Brian Alexander announced today that Kyrock Elementary School has named Mrs. Brandy (Kinser) Meredith their newest principal.

The new hiring comes after the departure of Shaun Stice, who was recently hired as the new principal at Oakland Elementary.

"With the departure of Mr. Stice, there are obviously some big shoes to fill, as Mr. Stice was very popular and we wish him the best," said Mr. Alexander.

"Mrs. Brandy has been a fixture at Kyrock for many years as a counselor and has always been known for her outstanding work. I believe that she will be a natural fit for her new role at Kyrock.  I fully expect Kyrock to go forward and excel under her leadership.  Kyrock Elementary is in excellent hands."

Mrs. Brandy has been with the school system for more than two decades. She taught kindergarten, second, and fourth grades at South Edmonson Elementary for 15 years. She has served as counselor at Kyrock Elementary for the past 7 years.

Mrs. Brandy told the Edmonson Voice that she was the first one in her extended family to graduate from college, which gave her the opportunity to work in the school system.

"I've always known I wanted to work with kids," she said. "It is truly my passion. I love watching the growth they make throughout the school year. Through education, I've built lifelong friendships and I am thrilled that I have been able to spend my career in Edmonson County, it is truly a special place."

Mr. Alexander said the vacant counseling position now at Kyrock will be posted and that a replacement to fill the job will begin immediately after the posting period has ended.
