"Metcalfe County Schools and all of Metcalfe County mourn the loss of Mr. Tim South. Mr. Tim was a pillar of strength that Metcalfe County High School leaned on every day. He was a strong but gentle soul who reminded us what it means to be a truly good man. His impact on students and staff is beyond description. In many ways, he was MCHS. We will all miss him and send our prayers to his family and our community."
~ Superintendent Josh Hurt
It is with great sadness and utmost respect that we mourn the passing of Tim South. Tim was more than the head custodian at MCHS; he was a dear friend to all and a fixture of Metcalfe County High School. His smile, compassion, joking, and positive attitude will be dearly missed on the hill in the days to come.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Tim. We hope they know that everyone who has graduated from MCHS and is currently attending loved Tim South. There will be an emptiness in the hallways in the days ahead that Tim’s personality and love for the students once filled.
As a way of remembrance and appreciation, we ask that former students, current students, staff, and anyone else share a memory, photo, or kind word for Tim in the comments below.
