Assistant Principal

jamie.ballard@bullitt.kyschools.us

Hello Panther Families! My name is Jamie Ballard and I am the assistant principal here at Hebron.  I have been serving Hebron since January of this year. This will be my fourteenth year in the district.  I began my career as an elementary teacher and have also served as a district instructional coach. I attended Western Kentucky University for my undergraduate work.  I then transitioned to Bellarmine University where I received my Masters of Arts in Teaching.  I also completed my Rank I there in reading and writing.  I later returned and participated in the Bullitt County and Bellarmine Principal Preparation Cohort.  I also completed my Level II classes at Bellarmine.

 I am passionate about students and what they can achieve.  I believe that ALL students can reach their potential with high quality instruction and teachers that care deeply about them.  Relationships are incredibly important to me.  I believe strong relationships with teachers and students can move mountains!

A little about me: I love Mexican food, home remodeling, taking care of plants, dogs, and love my family! My husband and I got married in October.  We have three dogs and a 20 year old!

I serve as an instructional liaison between the district and HMS, working with teachers in and out of their classrooms. I taught ELA for 12 years at Hebron before moving into this role.  I recently completed my Rank I in the Foundations of Teaching and Learning program through Bloomboard. I attended Spalding University and earned a Master of Arts in Teaching and a Bachelor of Science in Communication Studies. 

In my family, volleyball, old cars, and our dogs keep us busy! My two daughters love to spend their free time on the court, while my husband and son are always busy restoring old cars.
