Highland Elementary Principal Suzanne Montgomery has been named Principal of the Year by the Kentucky School Counselor Association.

Montgomery has worked for Lincoln County Schools for 32 years and says her staff and coworkers make winning an award like this possible.

“We have the best superintendent that empowers his principals to be leaders and I have a great support group with the other elementary principals (Magnificent Seven) in our district,” she said in a statement from the Lincoln County School District.

Montgomery will receive her award at the annual KSCA conference held later this month in Lexington.
