Elizabeth McFadden feels that she was called from an early age to become a special education teacher. McFadden, the Daviess County Public Schools special education consultant, will retire at the end of this year after 36 years of service, 26 of which have been with the county schools district. She began her educational career in 1982 teaching for Jefferson County Public Schools. Her family moved to Virginia, then to Indiana, and she took a few years off to raise her two boys. They eventually moved to Owensboro in 1994. She taught at Burns Elementary and Burns Middle, and in 2000 came into her current position as the special education consultant. She said working for DCPS has been wonderful, and she has had a great career.
