Lexington high school to have first woman principal

When school resumes in Lexington August 16^th, for the first time in school history, Lexington’s Tates Creek High will have a female principal. Fayette Public School officials announced last week they had hired Dr. Kristy Field. Field said when she was interviewing for the job, she didn’t know the school now known as The Academies of Tates Creek High had never had a woman as principal.

“I did however, know that I would be the first person to be hired from outside the Tates Creek faculty to lead the school in I think it was 35 years. So I did have that little stat available to me.”
