Dear Parents and Guardians,

My name is Joseph Honaker and this is my third year as assistant principal here at Meadow View Elementary School. I’m very excited for the start of this school year and look forward to working with each of you to better improve our school and focusing on what really matters; our students. I hope that this letter finds you well and I would like to take the time to thank you for what you have personally done thus far to better the lives of your student and our students as a whole here at Meadow View.

I am currently going into my 14th year as an educator. I started my career at North Middle School and spent six years there before I transferred to West Hardin Middle School. I worked there for five years until I was hired here at MVES in 2018. Most of my experience is in Social Studies although I have dabbled with a little bit of Reading, Language Arts, and Math. I have my undergraduate degree from Western Kentucky University in Middle Grades Education for both Language Arts and Social Studies. I also have a Master’s degree in Special Education and a Rank I in Administration.

I would also like to take the time to tell you a little bit about me as a person. I am married to my lovely wife, Kayla, who is also a teacher. I have four beautiful children named Bella, Brantley, Cole, and Holden. My kids range in age from 8 years old to 13 months old. As you can imagine it is very busy at my house and never a dull moment but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.  

I am passionate about education and our students here in the Hardin County school district. I look forward to serving our communities with that passion and making a difference in the lives of our students. I look forward to seeing your students at the start of this school year. Let’s work together to make it the best year possible. Be blessed and go Trojans!

Joe Honaker
