Kevin Dailey
U.S. History Teacher, Ballyshannon Middle School | Union, KY

“The LMC Fellowship this past summer has me excited about the possibility to engage with students in these Unsung Heroes projects. I think the ARTEFFECT projects are the most applicable to my current position and allow for incredible collaboration in virtually all subject areas.”

Currently, he serves as a US History teacher at Ballyshannon Middle School, where he helps students examine the complex history of the United States.
