HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Central Christian School announced the hire of Mrs. Abby Reed as the Secondary Principal and Director of Learning on May 17. Mrs. Reed has served as the interim principal for the Spring 2023 semester. After interviewing various candidates who applied for this position, the hiring committee felt Mrs. Reed was the right candidate given her knowledge of the school and her background. 

“Mrs. Reed has built a rapport with the students and staff, and that goes a long way in serving with distinction, as she has this whole semester,” said Dr. John Walker, Superintendent. “Given her background with the school, her vibrant faith in Christ, and desire to serve with excellence – she was the right candidate for this position.”

Mrs. Reed has served for several years as a volleyball coach for CCS, and most recently as CCS’s Guidance Advisor. When former secondary principal, Roberto Ibarra, left for a position elsewhere, Mrs. Reed stepped up to serve with distinction. 

“We are thankful to have Mrs. Reed continue in this role. We are looking forward to expanding our academic offerings through her leadership," Walker said. "God has gifted her, and we are thankful that she is responding to this opportunity in faithfulness to the Lord.” 

Mrs. Reed earned her undergraduate degree from Sterling College in Health and Physical Education, with a K–12 teaching certificate; and a Master of Science degree from Kent State University in Sport and Recreation Management. Mrs. Reed has spent time as a Physical Education and Health instructor, coach, and Adjunct Instructor at Sterling College. 

Mrs. Reed has two children at CCS and is married to Dr. Mark Reed. Dr. and Mrs. Reed attend church at Sterling Reformed Presbyterian Church, in Sterling, KS.

Mrs. Reed will begin her duties immediately.
