Dr. Hickey

Hickey is no stranger to Jones Middle — she was a student there and later a teacher and assistant principal. She got her doctorate in education while working there.

Now, she has the top job.

“Dr. Hickey was the obvious choice for Jones,” said Boone County Schools Superintendent Matthew Turner. “She is beloved by the students because she is one of them, a Jones Jet.

“Dr. Hickey’s relationships, real world experiences and knowledge provide the critical foundation that student need to succeed. And given that she succeeded beyond her own imagination, she sets high expectations for students and accepts no excuses.”
