This is a vital role in ensuring that teachers are given the support and tools needed that lead to student success.
“I am very excited to have the opportunity to take on this new role as Instructional Coach at the middle school! I love working with our middle school staff and students! I previously have taught sixth, seventh, and (most recently) eighth grade English Language Arts for LCMS - serving as a team and instructional leader throughout these experiences. I am excited to move forward and be able to provide support to help both our staff in the classroom and the students coming through our building.”

I am originally from WV, but I fell in love with KY as I enjoy rock climbing, backpacking, and white water rafting. I am excited to be as personal as possible for the upcoming school year as I try to use my lived and learned experiences as a platform for being able to allow my students to express themselves and their lived experiences as well within my classroom and curriculum!"
We would like to welcome Dominic Kane to LCMS. Mr. Kane will be teaching 8th grade social studies.
"My name is Dominic Kane and I can’t wait to be joining the LCMS community this year! I am originally from south coast Massachusetts and recently graduated from Bridgewater State University with a degree in history! I have spent most of my life in the New England region, working at multiple summer camps as both a camp counselor and as a waterfront director! I am a major sports fanatic, however, soccer has always been my sport of choice. I played 2 years of college soccer as a goalie and have coached at the youth level in my hometown. When not teaching you can catch me going to any game that I can (especially when Boston teams are playing)! Really looking forward to exploring Kentucky and Lincoln county and seeing all that it has to offer, and meeting all the staff and students at LCMS!“

I am very excited about my new role as library media specialist and to have the opportunity to support LCMS students and teachers in this position. I enjoy spending time with my husband and two sons, family and friends. We are involved in school and church activities and love to travel!"

I then moved to Las Vegas, Nevada to teach where I have taught for 17 years. I have mainly taught middle school science with 3 years of elementary sprinkled in. I love to do different after school activities….
