A Rineyville Elementary School teacher is being recognized by the school district.
Rineyville Elementary preschool teacher Jennifer Arnold has been selected as the 2025 recipient of the Hardin County Schools WHAS-11 ExCEL Award.
According to a release from HCS, Rineyville Elementary Principal Stephanie Breeding says Arnold was recognized for meeting the needs of her students, customizing the way she teachers literacy, math, language, and social and writing skills, her preparation and implementation of special education plans for students with disabilities, her adaptability, and her use of communication devices to help students build language and speaking skills.
Arnold said in the release: “I am grateful for the recognition and inspired to continue working hard to ensure inclusion for all learners. I believe that every student deserves access to a fun learning environment where they feel supported, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential.”
Arnold is the fifth Rineyville Elementary teacher to receive the award, which was first presented in 1991. She will be honored during a celebration at the school on March 19, and will receive $1,000 from Miracle Playgrounds of Kentucky and Tennessee to purchase items for her classroom.
