The Hopkins County Board of Education has announced the selection of Dr. Damon Fleming to serve as the next superintendent of Hopkins County Schools.
Dr. Fleming will start his new role on July 1—this comes after serving as the assistant superintendent of Hopkins County Schools since 2021, where officials say he played a key role in district operations and student support. Previously, he served as a teacher, school principal and director of student services in Muhlenberg and Daviess counties, and before that he worked in law enforcement before transitioning to education.
He holds a Doctorate of Education in Educational Leadership from University of the Cumberlands, along with earning a Specialist Degree in Education and a Master of Arts in Education in Administration from Murray State University, along with a Master of Arts in Teaching Exceptional Children–Learning and Behavior Disorders from Western Kentucky University.
Dr. Fleming says, “I’m honored to serve as the next superintendent of Hopkins County Schools. This community values its schools, and I’m proud to work with educators and families who are dedicated to doing what’s best for students. Together, we will continue building a safe, supportive, and academically strong district.”
