Twelve Make Up First Class of Warren County Schools Hall of Distinguished Alumni

Twelve professionals make up the inaugural class of the Warren County Public Schools Hall of Distinguished Alumni.  It's a diverse group whose backgrounds range from the military and medicine to business and sports. 

School System Attorney Bart Darrell helped create the Hall, and he says it's as much for current students as it is for alumni.

"We certainly want our students here now to see the bar that has been set for them and realize there were some really great folks who came before them, and they need to try to live up to those standards," says Darrell.

Inductees will be honored in a ceremony Saturday evening at the Sloan Convention Center in Bowling Green.  They include Amy Milliken, Jonathon Holland, Dr. Kenneth Bastin, Dr. Sharron Francis, Dr. Jenks Britt, Dr. James Lafferty, Dr. Jackie Lawrence, Daymeon Fishback, David Clark, Clemette Haskins, Charles Hardcastle, and Billy Ray Smith.
