Honoring and Remembering Strong Leaders and Advocates.

Dr. Katherine Koonce, head of Covenant School, was one of the six people killed in the recent shooting. She will be remembered for her positive impact on her students and friends. Koonce transformed how Christ Presbyterian Academy taught students with disabilities and developed something similar to the Individualized Education Program used at public schools. She was a mentor to many and inspired action in her friends' personal lives. Some have noticed that two well-known Tennessee Republicans, Gov. Bill Lee and U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, had not mentioned her friend in their statements about the shooting.
