Episode Title: The Chairman of Greenwave Nation

For more than 40 years, Dr. John Inman served Meade County Schools as a member of the Board of Education, helping shape nearly every part of the school district we know today.

Those who served alongside him remember a leader who listened, respected others' opinions, built consensus, and always brought the conversation back to students. Whether it was new facilities, technology, career and technical education, or another opportunity for kids, his driving force was simple. He wanted Meade County students to have the very best.

But his legacy reaches far beyond buildings and board meetings. He was a mentor, a friend, a proud father, and a leader who never sought recognition for his service. His pride in Meade County Schools became part of the culture he helped build and still resonates throughout our community.

Even after stepping away from the board table, Dr. Inman remains connected to the schools he served for more than four decades, now watching his own grandchildren receive their education in Meade County.

Our newest Greenwave Story, The Chairman of Greenwave Nation, celebrates a lifetime of humble leadership, service, and an unwavering belief in the students of Meade County Schools.

As one longtime colleague says in the story, “Dr. Inman is the chairman of the Greenwave Nation.”

Episode Title: The Beatingest Bunch

They started 1–2–1. Then they won eight straight.

The 1973 Meade County Greenwave football team became the first in program history to win a regional championship and advance to the state playoffs. Along the way came an unforgettable 12–8 victory over heavily favored Somerset on a bitterly cold night in Brandenburg and a trip to the state semifinals.

But more than 50 years later, the players and Coach Jim DeVries remember much more than wins and championships. They remember a team that became a family, a community that rallied around them, and a group that simply refused to quit.

After their season finally ended against the No. 1 team in the state, the opposing coach walked up to Coach DeVries and offered a description that has lasted more than five decades: “That’s the beatingest bunch I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Our newest Greenwave Story, The Beatingest Bunch, is about toughness, belief, family, and a group of young men who helped shape Greenwave Football's tradition.

In recognition of her dedication and service to students, families, and colleagues, Meade County Schools is proud to announce Mrs. Anita Hobbs of Barry Hahn Primary School as the 2026 Classified Team Member of the Year and recipient of the prestigious Fred Award. Known affectionately by many students as “Mrs. Anita,” she is recognized for the joy, kindness, and servant heart she brings to her work each day.

For many families, Mrs. Anita is one of the first faces their children encounter as they begin their journey in Meade County Schools. Each morning, she welcomes students with a smile and an enthusiasm that helps children feel safe, valued, and excited to come to school. One nominator, whose older children were supported by Mrs. Hobbs more than a decade ago and whose youngest child now sees her each morning, shared that Mrs. Anita is a big part of why her children have loved school from the very beginning.

Her care extends far beyond her assigned responsibilities. Mrs. Hobbs is known for stepping in wherever help is needed and for finding quiet ways to encourage others. She often leaves small gifts for coworkers without taking credit or expecting recognition, simply wanting others to know they are appreciated. Even ordinary moments become opportunities to serve, whether helping a parent who forgot a child’s snack or offering reassurance when someone needs it most.

BHP Principal Jenna Brown praised Mrs. Hobbs’ impact, sharing that “Anita brings an unmistakable sense of joy and care to Barry Hahn Primary every day. She has a special way of making children and adults feel welcomed, supported, and valued. Her willingness to serve wherever she is needed and her genuine love for people make her an extraordinary member of our BHP family.”

Personnel Director Janette Schmidt reflected on the qualities that make Mrs. Hobbs so deserving of the Fred Award, noting that “Anita demonstrates the impact one person can have simply by choosing every day to serve others with kindness and joy. She does more than what is expected, looks for ways to encourage the people around her, and never seeks recognition for herself. She represents the very best of ‘Students First, Team Always’ and the spirit we hope to see in every member of our team.”

Mrs. Hobbs’ recognition as Classified Team Member of the Year highlights the important role classified employees play in shaping students' and families' experiences. Her work demonstrates that making a difference does not always require a grand gesture. Often, people remember the consistent smile, helping hand, encouraging word, or quiet act of kindness most.

Each spring, an awards committee made up of students, employees, and parents seeks nominations from across the district. Nominees may then choose to complete an application for competitive consideration.

Congratulations to Mrs. Anita Hobbs on this well-deserved honor. Her kindness, service, and commitment to others truly embody the spirit of the Fred Award.

During Opening Day Ceremonies earlier this month, Meade County Schools proudly recognized Mrs. Tara Keen, Special Education Teacher at Stuart Pepper Middle School, as the 2026 Special Education Teacher of the Year.

Mrs. Keen was recognized for the individualized and thoughtful way she supports students with disabilities. Her nomination highlighted her ability to adapt instruction based on each student’s strengths, needs, and goals while ensuring accommodations and modifications are meaningfully integrated into daily learning. Through visual supports, flexible grouping, structured routines, and targeted interventions, she makes learning accessible and meaningful for every student.

Her commitment also extends beyond academics. Mrs. Keen creates a classroom environment rooted in respect, empathy, and belonging, while helping students build confidence, independence, and self-advocacy skills. She works closely with general education teachers, families, therapists, and other specialists to provide consistent support across settings.

SPMS Principal Dr. David Phillips praised Mrs. Keen’s impact, sharing that “Tara has a remarkable ability to see each student as an individual and build the support around them that helps them succeed. She is thoughtful, collaborative, and deeply committed to ensuring students feel both challenged and supported.”

Director of Special Education Mrs. Carole Brown added that “Tara Keen represents the very best of special education. Her strong instruction, meaningful relationships, collaboration, and advocacy help ensure that students are not simply included, but truly belong and have every opportunity to reach their full potential.”

Mrs. Keen’s recognition as Special Education Teacher of the Year reflects her dedication to individualized instruction, inclusive education, and helping every student experience success and belonging.

Each spring, an awards committee composed of students, employees, and parents seeks nominations from across the district. Nominees may then choose to complete an application for the committee's competitive consideration.

Congratulations to Mrs. Tara Keen on this well-deserved honor.

During Opening Day Ceremonies earlier this month, Meade County Schools proudly recognized Mrs. Noel Pack, Agriculture Teacher at Meade County High School, as the 2026 Teacher of the Year.

Mrs. Pack, now in her 17th year of teaching agriculture, was recognized for the many ways she helps students succeed both in and out of the classroom. Her nomination highlighted the warmth she brings to her classroom, her ability to make students of all levels feel welcomed and supported, and her commitment to going above and beyond to help them succeed. Her approach reflects the district’s standard of “Students First, Team Always.”

Her nominator described Mrs. Pack as an educator who consistently provides students with opportunities to grow through FFA, community service, competitions, leadership activities, and connections throughout the community. She works closely with community members and organizations to create meaningful experiences that help students build confidence, develop leadership skills, and prepare for life beyond high school. Her influence often continues long after students leave her classroom, with former students remembering the opportunities and experiences that helped shape their success.

MCHS Principal Garrett Frank said Mrs. Pack’s approach reflects her deep investment in students, noting that “Mrs. Pack has an incredible ability to connect with students and create opportunities that allow them to grow as learners, leaders, and young adults. She is deeply invested in her students, and the impact of her work reaches far beyond the agriculture classroom.”

Superintendent Dr. Mark Martin emphasized the lasting impact of teachers like Mrs. Pack, sharing that “Noel Pack represents the very best of what we hope teaching can be. She understands that education is about more than what happens during a class period. It is about relationships, experiences, opportunities, and helping students see what is possible for their future. We are extremely proud to recognize her as our Teacher of the Year.”

Mrs. Pack’s recognition as Teacher of the Year is a testament to her unwavering dedication to students, her leadership at Meade County High School, and her deep investment in the Meade County community.

Each spring, an awards committee composed of students, employees, and parents seeks nominations from across the district. Nominees may then choose to complete an application for competitive consideration by the committee.

As Meade County Schools’ 2026 Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Pack will also move forward as the district’s nominee for Kentucky Teacher of the Year.

Congratulations to Mrs. Noel Pack on this well-deserved honor. Her contributions to students, Meade County High School, and the community will continue to be celebrated for years to come.
