Education

Andrea Cockrell of Withers Elementary School was selected for the Harvard University Leadership Institute by the Raise Your Hand Leadership Program, a group that promotes the development of school leaders. Cockrell will attend Harvard to focus on the art of leadership and a principal’s impact on students’ achievements. Other Preston Hollow principals who have been selected for the program in past years include Anita Hardwick of W.T. White High School, Jean McGill, who just retired from Nathan Adams Elementary, and Kyle Richardson, the former Marsh Middle School principal.

Susan Bourenane of George Bannerman Dealey Montessori and Rachel Burnett of W.T.

The teachers receive $5,000 to be used for professional development and classroom technology and another $5,000 for personal use. Burnett joins fellow W.T. White teachers Heather Hinds (2007), Marry Rivers (2008), Jason Wallace (2009) and Scheryl Woodard (2011) in receiving this award.
