HOPKINSVILLE, KY (CHRISTIAN COUNTY NOW) – Hopkinsville High School’s athletic director, Blake Leach, has stepped down from his position, according to a press release from Christian County Public Schools.

Leach has served as the school’s athletic director for the past five years and is expected to officially step down at the end of the 2023-24 season.

“I have enjoyed my time as the athletic director of Hopkinsville High School,” Leach said. “I am very grateful for the support from our administration, coaches and the Hopkinsville High School family. I am looking forward to more time spent with my son, and the opportunity to be involved in baseball at Hopkinsville HS again. With the time that is required for this position, this is the best move for me at this point in my life.”

Leach said he still expects to be involved in high school athletics but in a different role in support of the Tigers programs.

Hopkinsville High Principal Cindy Campbell says Leach has done an exceptional job serving the community and will be missed. “We wish Coach Leach and his family the very best in his future endeavors.”

In the coming weeks, Hopkinsville High School will begin the search for a new athletic director.
