On Wednesday, April 12, 2017, Superintendent, Leon Smith, stated it gives me great pleasure to announce that Mrs. Kim McDaniel has been named the new Director of Pupil Personnel for the Russellville Independent School District. Mrs. McDaniel has worked in this district for 23 years and has done an outstanding job the past five years as the educational leader of Russellville Junior/Senior High School.

Mrs. McDaniel will fill the position formerly held by Mrs. Claudia Crump who retired in December, 2016. The vacant RJSHS Principal position was posted on Thursday, April 13, with the Kentucky Department of Education.
