Tom has been with Kanawha for more than 40 years, having started as a lifeguard in 1980. After teaching math and coaching several sports for 46 years (37 of them at Godwin HS), Tom is enjoying retirement, doing some tutoring, traveling, and spending more time at Kanawha. Tom and his wife, Kathy, have 5 children and 9 grandchildren.

Assistant Director
Martha Hodges
Martha started at Kanawha in 1981, lifeguarding to supplement her teacher’s salary – and aside from a 6-year stint working at a local country club, she’s been with KRA ever since! Martha taught special education at Tuckahoe Middle School for the last 25 years of her 31-year teaching career, and also coached tennis, track, and gymnastics – and she still coaches both girls’ and boy’s tennis at TMS.
