Nathan Grace has been named athletic director at Henderson County High School.
Grace has been an educator since 1999 and has served as a teacher, coach, associate athletic director and guidance counselor, said a release from Henderson County Schools.
Grace is a 1993 graduate of Henderson County High School and 1999 graduate of Murray State University and has earned a master degree in school counseling from MSU and a rank 1 in counseling from Western Kentucky University.
“This is a very exciting opportunity and professional journey that I am ready to undertake,” Grace said in an HCS release. “I want to thank Principal Amber Thomas for her confidence in me. I would also like to acknowledge Dr. Lawson, Mr. Ryan Reusch and the search committee as well for their time and input in this process of transition. I’m blessed to have a supportive family that has shown me that trust in God and hard work will provide great rewards. One of my first tasks will be to continue to build upon the culture, traditions and high expectations of our amazing school and district. Mark Andrews has set the bar very high for anyone who would come into the position. Go Colonels, Charge On!”
Grace will be replacing current Athletic Director Mark Andrews who will be retiring at the end of the school year.
“Henderson County High School is honored to have Nathan Grace serve as the new athletic director,” said HCHS Principal Amber Thomas. “Mr. Grace is a long-time Henderson native with a strong history of working with student-athletes in his roles as teacher, school counselor, and assistant athletic director. Mr. Grace’s commitment and the strong relationships he has built with the community will continue moving HCHS Athletics to the next level.”
Nathan and his wife Jessica reside in Henderson County and have two sons.
