Kathy Zseger

Secretary

A Hardin County native, Kathy has been a part of the Hardin County Schools family for over 17 years. She has enjoyed a wide variety of roles in the district, including Headstart Preschool assistant, Site Leader at the Parkway and Radcliff Elementary School Age Child Care Program, and most recently, provided care and office support at the College View Campus Early Learning Academy. The years of work in early childhood education and care were beyond rewarding. They led to friendships with many Hardin County families. Still, a lifelong passion for the arts persuaded Kathy to make a change and take on the position of secretary at the HCS Performing Arts Center. Kathy, her husband Steven, and their daughter Krystal all share a love of the local community and arts. You may see them frequently shopping at small businesses or local art fairs and markets, dining at locally owned establishments, enjoying a movie in the theater, or seeing live music.
