Kimbrell to serve on Board of Education

Jill Kimbrell was recently appointed to serve on the Homewood Board of Education. The 20-year Homewood resident will represent Ward 2. 

“My love of our schools and our community, and my commitment to Homewood, is why I desire to serve our ward and our community in this role,” Kimbrell said.

Kimbrell has a wide-range of volunteer and leadership experience in the schools and the community.  She has served on the Homewood City Schools Foundation Board for six years and is currently its president.  

She also has 12 years of service at Hall-Kent Elementary School, where she has served as PTO president, treasurer and Fall Festival Silent Auction chair. At Homewood Middle School, she has volunteered her time for five years as PTO room parent communication chair and PTO president elect, and helped in the planning and implementation of the new HMS fundraiser, HMS Fest. At Homewood High School, she has been involved with the PTO in various capacities and is involved in the band program.  

Kimbrell has also served on the system’s five year strategic planning committee, which provides the mission and future vision for the school system, and she was a part of the 2010 district accreditation committee.  

 “It was an incredible and impressive process, which I am very grateful to have been involved in,” she said. “It also validated and reinforced my belief in our school system, its commitment to excellence, and its commitment to its fundamental mission statement of helping each student reach his or her unique potential.”
