Gail Easton
Secretary to Superintendent - Accounts Payable - Life / Health Insurance Coordinator
I was born in Rowan County and raised in Salt Lick, Kentucky. I live just below Cave Run Lake and every male member of my family helped build Cave Run Dam in the early 1970’s. I attended school through the 8 th grade at Salt Lick Elementary School, and graduated from Bath County High School in 1964. Immediately after graduating from Bath County High School in 1964, I was hired as secretary for Salt Lick Elementary School by the principal. In 1974, at the needless to say, I have seen many changes in education throughout the years. I now have the duties of accounts payable, insurance coordinator, and other duties as assigned by the superintendent. My present job title is secretary to the superintendent.
