Bill Bradford \u201902, who developed leadership skills as a Transylvania University student, athlete and coach, was recently named to a top position with Fayette County Public Schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the new assistant superintendent of school leadership for Kentucky\u2019s second largest district, Bradford specifically oversees the chiefs of schools, who in turn supervise and evaluate principals. He also helps plan and implement a variety of top-level initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bradford started as a Spanish teacher at Lafayette High School after studying the language at Transylvania and deciding to stay in Lexington. He eventually left to serve in educational leadership roles elsewhere in the state and earned a Doctor of Education from Northern Kentucky University, but he came back to the district \u2014 the one where he began his career, making his advancement even more special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since he returned to FCPS in 2022 \u2014 at first as a chief of middle schools \u2014 he\u2019s coordinated the district\u2019s complex strategic plan, an evaluation of faculty and staff engagement (workplace conditions), the naming of the new Mary E. Britton Middle School<\/a> and the subsequent rezoning of middle school student attendance areas in Fayette County. Bradford has also presented at state, regional and national conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He pointed out a perk of helping lead the local district \u2014 something that deepens his connection with it: \u201cThere are a variety of other Transylvania alumni I now get the opportunity to work with in a professional setting.\u201d It helps him stay engaged with two school communities he feels close to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back when Bradford was a student, he made an impact across campus by taking advantage of experiences that gave him a \u201cchance to demonstrate leadership.\u201d For instance, he was active in the Student Government Association, Student Alumni Association and in a first-year urban community engagement program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes his roles of guidance were formal, sometimes informal, said Bradford, who also cultivated leadership as a Delta Sigma Phi brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, he was one of the school\u2019s greatest divers of all time<\/a>, finishing as the 1999 NAIA national runner up in the 1-meter event and going undefeated in conference championships. After graduating, the Pioneer Hall of Famer was Transy\u2019s dive coach for six years, yet another way to step up and serve his school community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLeadership manifests in different ways,\u201d Bradford said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
