Cowan inducted into Kentucky Teacher Hall of Fame Three longtime educators joined the Governor Louie B. Nunn Kentucky Teacher Hall of Fame during its 2025 induction ceremony on Friday, November 7, 2025, at Western Kentucky University. Members of the Hall of Fame's 17th class are the late Lois Chandler, Julie Cowan and Jennifer Miller Fritsch. Cowan said she was surprised to receive the news that she had been selected. "My first thought was 'why me?' There are so many hard-working elementary teachers that are just as deserving." Cowan said. "Being a teacher is who I have always been. When I was little, I loved playing school and knew at an early age I wanted to be a teacher. Teaching young children has been a part of my daily life for over 33 years. Seeing students learn and grow is the greatest 'award' I will ever receive." For 33 years, Julie Cowan has brought boundless creativity, compassion and joy to her kindergarten classroom. A graduate of Lindsey Wilson College and Western Kentucky University, Cowan currently teaches at Adair County Primary School and previously served at Colonel William Casey Elementary. Known for her innovative "Kindergarten Bucket List," Cowan invites her students to dream big, and then helps make those dreams come true. From "Taco Tuesday" and "Clay Day" to ice cream parties and community projects, Cowan turns small wishes into lasting memories. "Julie is one of the most compassionate, creative and dedicated educators our district has ever known," wrote a colleague who nominated her. "She's always thinking from the child's perspective and goes above and beyond to make them feel cared for and connected."
