The Importance of Education in Eastern Kentucky Education is extremely important in the area of Eastern Kentucky. As shown in an interview of Steve Breshear "They didn’t mention the seven state championships we’ve won in academics,” when asked about A Forgotten America: Children of the Mountains “We pay our academic-team coaches as much as the head football and basketball coaches” for their non- classroom work, says Supt. Steve Trimble. “And that made people think, ‘Well, academics must be important to the folks in Johnson County.’”
