Your Hosts:
Ken Hyde,
Multimedia Specialist
Ken Hyde, a proud West Ada parent and former sports broadcaster, has spent two decades in the Treasure Valley after honing his skills (and asking plenty of annoying questions 😉) in Arkansas, Missouri, and Michigan. With a lighthearted approach and a deep respect for West Ada's incredible educators, students, and coaches, Ken is thrilled to spotlight the inspiring stories of the district on the West Ada Podcast.
Katie Rhodenbaugh, Community Liaison
Katie Rhodenbaugh, the daughter of a dedicated educator, swore she wouldn’t follow in her mother’s footsteps—but the education bug bit soon after college. With 20 years in Idaho public education and experience hosting a local lifestyle TV show, Katie is passionate about connecting with others and sharing unique stories. As a mom of three proud West Ada students, she brings enthusiasm, humor, and dedication to the district’s mission while co-hosting the West Ada Podcast.
