The Hardin County Board of Education voted to adopt a resolution recognizing the district's November Difference Maker award recipients during its regular meeting.

Among those honored was Clyde Grant, an engineering teacher at North Hardin High School, who was cited for sharing lesson plans and mentoring a long-term substitute at Central Hardin High School. The board also recognized Harold Perez Lopez, an eighth-grade student at North Middle School who won the Patricia Lyons Anserth Memorial Award at the Kentucky State Fair; Kat Henderson, a special-needs instructional assistant at North Park Elementary; Chad Lewis, a guidance counselor at John Hardin High School with 25 years of service; and Bobby Thompson, a youth minister and community volunteer who serves on several student-advisory bodies.

Presenter remarks highlighted community service, classroom support and extracurricular leadership as reasons for each selection. The board carried the resolution by voice vote.

The recognitions will be included in district communications and awardees received plaques and brief remarks from staff and board members.
