The Gatton Academy's Staff

Cheryl Kirby-Stokes received her Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from Kansas State University in 1986 and her Masters in Science in Secondary Education Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Kansas in 1996. She travels regularly with her husband, Dr. Michael Stokes, a wildlife biologist at WKU, to South Africa to assist him with his course there. At Gatton Ms. Kirby-Stokes helps students identify and apply for summer internships, edit and review their scholarship and college applications, and locate additional high school competitions and scholarships. Although not a scientist, she loves having her brain boggled and thoroughly enjoys working with some of the best and brightest high school students in Kentucky.
