The Victoria Fellows
The Victoria Fellows were founded in 2011 thanks to a gift from Linda and John Kelly and their daughter, Victoria, a longtime volunteer at The Center. Their goal was to establish an initiative to build an advocacy group for young people who are gifted and talented in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The resulting Victoria Fellows is composed of superintendents from throughout Kentucky who meet twice a year to listen to speakers, network, and share ideas.
Past speakers have discussed the excellence gap, how to revamp gifted and talented
programming, acceleration, giftedness in creativity, and equity. John Kelly believes
the benefits of the program are readily apparent: “Being able to put together the
most influential, engaged, and supportive educators across the state to work as advocates
who recognize the need for resources for gifted and talented students is very important,
especially in a state like Kentucky.”
