Executive Director
Betty Edwards

Betty Edwards has been a teacher, assistant principal, district curriculum director, state department director of curriculum and assessment, associate director of a non-profit organization, and assistant vice-president for an education assessment company.

Middle level education has had a central place in her life since the first time she stepped into the classroom as a seventh grade teacher. As an assistant principal, she led the school through transition from a junior high to a middle school. As both a district and state administrator, middle level education programs were in her area of responsibility. She served as the president of both the Kentucky Middle School Association and the National Middle School Association. During her nine years on the NMSA Board of Directors, she worked with others as the association moved through challenging times.
