Ringgold Elementary School has announced its Support Person and Teacher of the Year. 

The Support Person of the Year is Katherine Kenny. She has been the secretary at the school for the last 7 years. She is originally from a small beach town in south Texas near Corpus Christi and moved to Ringgold 16 years ago to be closer to her husband’s work in the oilfield. She has been married for 19 years and blessed with three beautiful children. 

The Teacher of the Year is Katie Vining. She is in her 9th year of teaching and her 3rd year of teaching music at RES. She has a Bachelor’s in Music Education from Northwestern State University. She is the cross-country coach and started a high school drum line this year. During students’ time in music, they learn to read music and play a variety of instruments including piano, drugs, and ukulele. She loves reading, has two children, and is the music director at her church. 

The school expressed its gratitude for having both of these amazing individuals working for them.
