Case named principal at Central Hardin

Central Hardin High School is under new leadership.

Hardin County Schools has announced that current John Hardin High School Assistant Principal Kim Case will serve as the new principal at Central Hardin. Case replaces Tim Isaacs, who is retiring after 15 years on the job.

Case earned her bachelor’s degree from Campbellsville University. She holds two master’s degrees, one from Campbellsville and one from Western Kentucky University.

Case began her career in education at Central Hardin in 1997, when she was hired to teach English. A release from HCS says Case began her administrative career in the 2010s when she began working as a guidance counselor at Nelson County High School, serving in similar roles at John Hardin and at Bardstown High School. She has served as an assistant principal at John Hardin since 2018.

Case said in the release: “I view my role as that of a servant-leader, an advocate, and an instructional guide. I look forward to helping preserve a culture where staff is supported, innovation is encouraged, and students are actively involved in shaping their own learning experiences. Our students have numerous opportunities. I’m excited to see them flourish.”

The first day of school for Hardin County Schools is August 7.
