Barren County Middle names new principal

BARREN COUNTY, Ky.- Barren County Schools has another new addition to the Trojan team.

Members of the community and Barren County Schools staff gathered to welcome and celebrate the new Barren County Middle School principal.

The Trojan is more than excited about his new role, he’s ready to take on the school year making every student’s experience great.

Joey Bunch, principal of Barren County Middle School, tells us, “It’s kind of a fictitious feeling that this is the worst years for people and kids because I’ve had former kids come back to me that with elementary, they’re like, ‘well, these years have been hard. “I want to take that feeling away and say, now, this could be the best years of our life.’ I want them to see that they’ve got people in this building that are going to be there for them.”

This is just one way Bunch is changing the narrative, and News 40 will continue to follow more stories throughout the upcoming school year.
