Jeremy Wendt sits down with Kim Dillon, the new Director of Overton County Schools, to discuss her unexpected journey from classroom teacher to district leadership. Originally planning to become an attorney, Dillon switched paths after having children and has now been in education for 23 years. She shares her thoughts on how career pathways have evolved, the importance of secondary education, and the recent success of AP and dual enrollment programs — including record-high AP test scores and the enthusiastic support behind the AP Academy they are hoping to implement this coming school year. Dillon also addresses the district's new no-phone policy, acknowledging the challenges of implementation while emphasizing the need for focused learning environments. Despite the pressures of state-level decisions, she remains passionate about her work and reminds us that the professionalism of educators deserves far more recognition than it often receives.
