Kayla Hendrix

Kayla Hendrix was appointed to serve on the Board of Education in February 2023. She has resided in Barrow County her entire life and matriculated through Winder-Barrow High School in 2011. She went on to graduate from the University of Georgia in 2014 with a double-major in International Affairs and Political Science. She has spent the last six years working in higher education at the University of Georgia where she advances the mission of the university by supporting students, faculty, alumni, and corporate partners. She is passionate about public service and policy, and she is most excited to give back to her community by working to advance the learning environment for students, support educators, and be an advocate for the taxpayers of Barrow County.

In her spare time, you can find Kayla cheering on the Bulldawgs in Sanford Stadium, trout fishing in the North Georgia mountains, or on a ball field doing what she loves most - watching her son, Brayden, play baseball. She attends Athens Church and leads a girls’ college small group through the church weekly. She values quality time with family and her labrador retriever, Duck.
