Goff joins Glasgow Students welcome new superintendent By GINA KINSLOWGlasgow Daily Times Thompson is a member of the local FFA chapter, but she can’t take agriculture classes at GHS because they aren’t offered. She said she’s been pushing for the creation of an FFA chapter at GHS since she started high school.
Lora Garrett, a GHS math teacher, thought the special-called school board meeting at the high school was “quite a production.” Garrett said Goff has an extensive background in education on all levels — elementary, middle and high school. “I think that was what the committee might have been looking for — someone who is experienced in all areas, because that can only help our school system,” she said. Garrett would like to see Goff get the district a new high school. “I think our kids are a little down when they see the new elementaries and the middle school and compare our school to other schools,” she said. “They wonder why we don’t have that. We try to explain it to them, but it’s hard for kids to understand what all is involved with a decision like that.” Katrina Franklin, a second grade teacher at South Green Elementary and who is a Glasgow parent, said she was impressed by Goff. “I’ve heard a lot about her ... that’s she hardworking,” she said. “She is a builder. She’s going to build us up and that’s what I’m looking for.” Rhonda Trautman, also a Glasgow parent and a member of the GHS site-based decision-making council, said the special-called school board meeting was a great way to get everyone excited about taking the next step. She looks forward to working with Goff and hopes she will be able to help the school district continue it’s tradition. “To me that is the crux of what Glasgow’s always been about — outstanding student performance and outstanding teachers and that’s what I want to see maintained,” she said. “Glasgow Independent Schools is a great school district,” Goff said. “I feel honored to become a part of the team that is established here and continuing the traditions and the successes they have had.” Prior to taking the superintendent’s job, Goff was a district achievement gap coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Education. She was principal of Warren Central High School from 2002-07; principal of Richardsville Elementary in Warren County from 1995-2002; and assistant principal of Henry Moss Middle School also in Warren County from 1983-85. From 1983-85 she taught elementary school in Butler County.
