Jostens Renaissance Hall of Fame

2024 INDUCTEE

Tim Schlosser is the Superintendent of Simpson County Schools in Franklin, KY. Tim earned his Bachelors of Science in Physical Education and Health from Murray State University and his Masters in Administration from Western Kentucky University. In the past, he has been recognized as a Jostens Renaissance Educator of the Year as well as a KASA Administrator of the Year.  Tim has been in education for 30 years, and involved with Renaissance at various schools for 12 of those years.

Tim has played an integral part in spreading Renaissance magic in multiple schools. Missy Hardison, an alum and Parent of Franklin-Simpson High School and now a teacher at Lincoln Elementary School said “Tim Schlosser is not only an excellent and supportive superintendent, but also a man of integrity and excellent character. He holds himself and his district employees to the highest standards and doesn’t ask anything of them that he wouldn’t ask of himself. Since Coach Schlosser first introduced me to Jostens Renaissance, I’ve tried my best to implement as many ideas to improve the climate and culture in Lincoln Elementary as possible.”

Emmi Knight, Student Council President of Franklin-Simpson High School wrote “My older siblings both had the privilege to have Mr. Schlosser as their high school principal and he most certainly helped shape their love of our school. Because of the community that he developed, both of my siblings, have returned to Simpson County Schools as teachers and use the same principles that Mr. Schlosser displayed in their own classrooms and professional careers, and I too hope to teach in Simpson County one day and help contribute to my school’s culture and climate… Even now as Superintendent he continues to build relationships with students, through a Superintendent Student Advisory Council that gives students a voice in what they feel matters and see their solutions implemented within our district.”

When we asked Tim how Renaissance has affected him personally, he said “Jostens Renaissance totally changed my perspective on how I approached school and the impact that we can have on a student’s life. Renaissance has allowed me to develop relationships with educators across the country who have the same goal and that is to make school a great place to be and give students the opportunity to be successful. It is by far the best decision I have made in my educational career to get involved and make it a way we approach building relationships and doing business in our schools.”
