Kaye Janes Hope named 2026 Educator Idol From Kim Harwood, Executive Director, Edmonton Metcalfe Chamber of Commerce Kaye Janes Hope was named 2026 Educator Idol at the 29th Annual Senior Celebrity Banquet. Kaye is a lifelong resident of Metcalfe County. Her parents were Tom B. and Virginia Janes. She started out as a substitute and was hired full-time in the fall of 1974 to teach fourth grade at Summer Shade Elementary. Kaye taught twenty years at Summer Shade. She was very active in clubs including sports, 4-H, Fall Festivals, and numerous community events. When the county consolidated Kaye taught eighth grade at the middle school. After leaving middle school Kaye took a job with Vocational Rehabilitation as a vocational counselor and retired in 2001. During Kaye's years in the classroom, she encouraged her students to excel in all subjects, to respect their teachers and peers and stressed the importance of being a good citizen. She was teaching when the gas explosion happened in Beaumont, KY. The community lost friends and family and Summer Shade lost a student. Kaye and her fellow staff members were available to help those grieving. Kaye Hope cared deeply about the students as well as every person that worked for the school in Summer Shade, they were family. Kaye continues to contribute to community in many ways. She is dedicated to her church, always a Hornet fan, member of the Retired Teachers Association, supports local charities and fund raisers, Die-hard UK fan, faithful friend, devoted family member, and loving grandmother. She graduated from Metcalfe County High School in 1970 and then attended Georgetown College, University of Kentucky and graduated from Western Kentucky University with a degree in Elementary Education and later obtained her master's degree from WKU.
