Our Story. The NKYAB launched in 2011 with a simple yet powerful premise:
“High school students need to have more opportunities to be empowered to guide their own learning, to make a difference in the lives of others, and to make critical decisions that will lead to action - that will impact the world in which they live.” - Tim Hanner, 2011.
Former Kenton Co. Superintendent and Navigo Founder Tim Hanner sought to expand on a successful program he created for his district called “Hanner’s Heroes.” Each month, he would meet with high school leaders and what Tim calls “student magnets” to tackle Two Big Questions:
What will it take for ALL students to be successful?
How can students help to make it happen?
