‘Always a Laker' Pyle retiring from CCHS post

Yvette Pyle, principal at Calloway County High School, has announced her retirement effective Aug. 1.
In her letter to Calloway County School Superintendent Steve Hoskins and the Calloway County Board of Education, she wrote, “‘To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under Heaven...' and the time has come for me to make a bitter-sweet decision. Having served as a teacher, assistant principal and principal at Calloway County High School for over 32 years, I am submitting this letter as a request to retire from full-time employment...”
“In my tenure at Calloway, Yvette has been a good principal at CCHS. Not only has she excelled at everyday building management, but also as a leader in curriculum development. She is a true Laker, and I wish that I could convince her to stay on,” Hoskins commented.
Pyle said she could not begin to thank all of the people who have helped her throughout the years.
“I have been truly blessed in my career to serve daily with my fellow administrators, teachers, staff members, school board members, parents, community members and especially the students,” she said.
She said she would never be far away, and would remain Calloway schools' “number one advocate, ambassador and cheerleader.”
“Once a Laker... always a Laker,” she added.
Pyle was a student at Calloway County High School from 1964-68. After four years at Murray State University and four years of following her husband to different U.S. Air Force bases, she returned to CCHS in March 1976 as a chemistry teacher for more than 23 years until the fall semester of 1999. At that time she became the assistant principal.
In July 2001, she became the sixth principal at CCHS.
“During my four years as a student and my 32-plus years as a teacher and administrator in these hallowed halls, I have been truly blessed,” she said.
