Hello! I’m Lori Sorrell and I am excited to be your new Family Resource and Youth Services Center Director for the Menifee County School District. I am a 1995 graduate of Menifee County Schools and received my bachelor’s degree at Morehead State University. I am a lifelong resident of Menifee County with two children. My daughter Chloe is a graduate of MCHS and my son Riley is in 8th grade. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my children and boyfriend Kevin, reading, and traveling. I have been blessed to work within my community in various roles that instilled in me a sense of pride in our town and people. I love our community and our schools provide so many opportunities for our children and families that I am happy to now be a part of this wonderful group of people! I am looking forward to making new connections, engaging with our community, community partners and meeting all our students!
