Kentucky Association of Teachers of History

KATH offers a common forum and source of information for all teachers of history in this state, so that they may know of one another’s research and publications, educational activities, successes, concerns and problems.

Join KATH now online to get the latest news about the upcoming Annual Meeting of the Kentucky Association of Teachers of History.

KATH is a uniquely independent and fully volunteer group that began in 1975. It is a service organization for those concerned about improving the quality of history education in Kentucky and offers opportunities to network and to experience professional development events, especially through our annual conference. In this way we hope to improve the scope and quality of teaching history throughout Kentucky. Each year the main activity of the annually-elected KATH Board is to organize this meeting which typically takes place in the fall.
