Jack Portwood
STANFORD -- Jack Portwood, 64, of Dix River Estates, a former Lincoln County High School principal and assistant superintendent, died today at University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center.
"He was a great school person. What sticks in my mind is his wealth of knowledge and his willingness to share it with others," said current Superintendent Danny Godbey.
Portwood was one of three principals who opened Lincoln County High School in 1974.
"Jack was assistant superintendent which I started teaching. He was my mentor when I became principal. ... He was personable and always willing to show someone the ropes," said Godbey.
When he or others had a problem, Godbey said, Portwood was always willing to listen and offer advice. "He made us realize that others had dealt with the same problems."
Even after retirement, Portwood was willing to offer his counsel. When superintendent Bruce Johnson resigned to go to Mercer County, Portwood was called back to serve as interim superintendent before Godbey was hired.
Portwood was serving as principal of Stanford Elementary School when he became principal at the high school.
He was the husband of Donna Reynolds Portwood.
Arrangements are incomplete at Fox Funeral Home.
