Ken Hunley is Eagle Tire Pros Educator of the Week

By Charlotte Underwood

Educators make a difference in students’ lives every day. For many students, having a school employee who cares and goes that extra mile can be the difference in a successful education and graduation. We’ve all had that teacher, or school employee who inspired us or helped in some way. That’s why WLAF and Eagle Tire Pros salute all of our hardworking educators with a weekly feature.

Ken Hunley is Eagle Tire Pros Educator of the Week. He teaches Spanish at Campbell County High School.

Hunley graduated from Bell County High School in 1993, Middle Tennessee State University in 2005, and grad school at Lincoln Memorial University in 2014.

His hobbies include “guitar and travel.”

He said he was influenced to follow an education career because of one of his own teachers, “Mr. (Chief) Taylor.” Taylor was Hunley’s Spanish teacher at Bell County High School.

Hunley has taught Spanish at CCHS for 17 years and has been an educator for 20 years total. 

“My favorite part of the job is meeting all the CCHS students, sharing my knowledge and love for the Spanish culture and language. I also enjoy giving any advice that might help lead each student to a meaningful path in both life and career,” Hunley said.

Every Thursday, WLAF’s Charlotte Underwood features the WLAF – Eagle Tire Pros teacher of the week. That educator also receives a free oil change from Eagle Tire Pros.
