This is Matt Baucum’s first year as an assistant principal at Central Hardin, so we would like to give students a bit of insight as to who he is and a bit of information about his life before joining us here at our school. Baucum attended Reidland High School, which is in Paducah, Kentucky.
He went to Murray State University, and I got a degree in music education, and then went to the University of Iowa and got a master’s degree in music. Baucum planned to be a band director, and that’s what he has done for the past 20 years. He started teaching at Reidland High School, as a high school band teacher for two years, and then taught at Larue County Middle School for four years. For the last 14 years, he has taught at East Hardin Middle, but while at East Hardin was also an assistant band director at Central Hardin. Though being a band director was his original goal, in his new role he will not continue to work with the band. As time went on, he became interested in becoming an administrator and being able to affect all the students and help all the students and teachers in the school. Baucum said, “I love this school and the people here and the students and the teachers. And it was just when the opportunity came open, I knew that I needed to apply.” He has had a great experience at Central getting to know teachers, principles, and students since he began working here on September the third. Outside of school, Baucum loves spending time outdoors with his family, whether that’s camping, riding mountain bikes, hiking, or just working around the land outside of his home.
