BOWLING GREEN — The Governor Louie B. Nunn Kentucky Teacher Hall of Fame is adding three new members.
Katy Cecil, Addie Henry, and Wilma Pace make up the 14th class. The 2022 Hall of Fame members, chosen by a statewide selection committee, will be inducted Friday, Nov. 4, on the campus of Western Kentucky University.
Cecil is currently an English and Public Speaking teacher at LaRue County High School and has spent her 20+ year career teaching in LaRue County. Henry retired from Breathitt County High School in 1996 after teaching English for 28 years. The late Pace taught Business, English, and French during her 29-year career. She worked at South Marshall High School for a large part of her career and retired from South Marshall Middle in 1980. Full biographies of the inductees will be released on Nov. 4.
The Governor Louie B. Nunn Kentucky Teacher Hall of Fame was created in 2000 through a gift by former Gov. Nunn, who hoped to recognize the vital role that classroom teachers in Kentucky play in the education of young people and the positive impact education has on the state’s economy.
WKU was selected as the home of the Teacher Hall of Fame because of its more than 100-year history in teacher education. You can learn more at https://www.wku.edu/kythf/.
