Jonathan Miller, the sophomore history teacher and instructor of SADD Club, was born in Bowling Green, Kentucky. However, Miller grew up in Edmonson County. When Miller was younger he wanted to be a musician, but he did not want to risk failure. Miller decided that he would be a teacher instead, and followed in his parents’ footsteps.

 “They enjoyed being a teacher, so I decided to be one too.” He studied at Western Kentucky University, WKU, to be a teacher and band instructor. Miller expressed that he is happy being a teacher and where he is in life.

Miller explained, “I love teaching others and I hope to inspire them to learn.” He admitted his least favorite thing about teaching is having to answer the same questions repeatedly. Miller was hired to play the drums at WKU, but teaching at Edmonson County High School was his first actual long-term job. He started teaching at Edmonson County High School five years ago. Although he decided not to pursue a career in music, he enjoys playing the drums, guitar, and other instruments.

 “As much as I love being a teacher, I want to be known as someone they would see in the real world, someone they would say “Hey,” to.” he confided. Miller hopes to be remembered as someone who is passionate about what he teaches to his students.

Williams came from Sweeden, Kentucky, and went to school with Derrick Stice (Science), Kyle Pierce (JAG), and Leanne Pierce (English). All of which were taught by Anthony Elmore during his 1st year of teaching at ECHS. After high school, Williams went to the University of the Cumberlands and graduated with the Rank 1 teaching status, meaning he holds a master’s and took a variety of graduate courses equal to 30 credit hours.

Today, Williams plays a very important role in our school. As principal, he has many responsibilities and obligations to the school and the students, but he does more than the typical principal. Williams takes it upon himself to ensure the students of ECHS enjoy their time in school. He organizes events, such as Clash of Classes, to promote student participation and give students a chance to create irreplaceable memories. ECHS is fortunate to have a principal like Williams.

In this month's Clash of the Classes, the Juniors took the lead with 35 points, Freshman are at 29, Sophomores have 14, and Seniors have 34 points. The games consisted of Musical chairs and variations of basketball. During the games, Jonathan Williams, Principle of Edmonson County Highschool, called for volunteers for the second round. 

Unfortunately, sophomores and freshmen provided no participants. Which resulted in having an extra round just for juniors and seniors.   

Nakayla Coleman, freshman and winner of musical chairs, said, “This was a fun and an exciting experience, and something I'll forever remember.”

Coleman has not only won musical chairs once, but twice. Regarding the first Clash of Classes. 

Zachary Kirk, senior contributor, said ¨Clash of the Classes is a chance for us to prove to the rest of the school that we are a team on either side. It's also an opportunity for us to try our best in front of our peers, and to compete in an honorable manner. Instead of us having the mindset of doing our worst, our mindset can be increased by striving to do better.”

        Jonathan Williams announced the basketball game that following night.

In the end, Williams introduced all basketball players of the school and had them line up for one big group photo.
