Caldwell Co. resident becomes Prichard Committee member

Dr. Jay Parrent, of Princeton, has been selected to be a member of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence. Parrent is Vice President of Administration at Madisonville Community College and has been an educator for many years. Dr. Parrent previously served on the Kentucky Board of Education, is a former member of the Princeton Water Commission and has been an active contributor to economic development initiatives in surrounding communities.

The Prichard Committee is an independent, nonpartisan, citizen-led organization working to improve education in Kentucky – early childhood through postsecondary – so that we will achieve a better quality of life for all residents.

“Prichard Committee members believe public education is critical to the economic and social well-being of Kentucky,” said Brigitte Blom Ramsey, President & CEO. “Jay will work to inspire other Kentuckians to act on improving education outcomes at all levels and will be an asset to the committee.”
