Lakewood Elementary School has a new principal.
Hardin County Schools has announced that Angela Pike will serve as the school’s new principal, effective immediately.
Pike, a teacher at Lakewood and a former assistant principal there, has been at Lakewood since 2017. Pike replaces Shelee Clark, who is now HCS’s Director of Education Development and Student Support.
HCS Community Relations Specialist John Wright says Pike will be a strong leader for Lakewood.
“Mrs. Pike is a tremendous leader,” said Wright. “Her determination for student success, her dedication to her school and co-workers, and dependability go beyond measure. Her tenacity is limitless and she will do whatever it takes to ensure that students reach beyond their potential. Her passion for community will be a strong asset for her students.”
Elizabethtown Community and Technical College is also announcing new leadership. Dr. Telly Sellars will serve as ECTC’s new provost, serving as the college’s chief academic officer and working closely with faculty and college administration to support student success. Sellars comes to ECTC from Big Sandy Community and Technical College in Prestonsburg, where he was interim president and CEO.
