Regina Bishop , assistant principal at South Laurel Middle School , was presented with the Kentucky Association of Professional Educators Principals Award for Excellence in Leadership award .

Bishop feels extremely honored to be chosen for this award . She believes that education and the hard work of teachers are abundantly important . Teachers provide essential content while giving love and guidance to all of their student needs . She believes that her job as an assistant principal is to provide support to teachers and all staff to make all students successful .
Education has always been a priority for Bishop and her family . She comes from a family that believed education was key to the future . Her great-grandparents donated the land and built a oneroom school , Langdon Elementary , for a small community in Clay County . Her great-grandmother even boarded teachers for the school . Many years later , this one-room school provided the educational foundation for her mother , Ruby Hensley , and her aunt , Sylvia Baker , who both became teachers . She has a sister , an aunt , great-aunts , a daughter , and now a son-in-law that have chosen education as their field . They all have a strong belief that changing a child ’ s life for the better is their goal as a teacher . Every student needs someone to take an interest in them so that he or she believes that the future is unlimited . Mrs . Bishop hopes that she can be a small part of the successes of their future .
