Biography:

Mrs. Kaye Olgin was born in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, but raised in Louisville where she attended Our Lady of Lourdes Grade School and Sacred Heart Academy, before going  to college at the University of Kentucky. (She bleeds blue!)  She received her Master's at U of L.  Mrs. Olgin helped start the first Student Council at St. Gabriel and moderated it for 14 years.  She served on the Archdiocesan Social Studies Curriculum Committee and serves regularly as a Eucharistic minister, lector and member of the stewardship committee, at her home parish, St. Gabriel.  Mrs. Olgin was awarded the Supreme Court and Treasury Department's Junior High Teachers of the Constitution Award.

Mrs. Olgin is happily married to Dennis Olgin.  She has a son, Jimmy,  a daughter, Robin, and a step-son, Brett, . In addition she is the proud parent of Toto, her brave 12 pound terrier "shelter dog".  If you want to put a smile on her face, just ask about her "brilliant and beautiful"  granddaughters, Wren, now age 6 and Juniper, age 4.  Cypress, the 1st grandson, now known as "the King" was  one in September.

Says Mrs. Olgin, "I can't imagine anything I'd rather have spent my life doing other than teaching. St. Gabriel and its faculty have truly been my family.
