Dear Hancock Parents and Families,

It is an honor to serve as Principal of East Hancock Elementary. My favorite thing about coming to work each day is connecting with my students, staffulty and parents. It fills my heart with joy to see our Gators grow! Our Gators have shown me what it truly means to be a Gator. I enjoy saying our Gator Pledge each morning because I know that my students follow it with sincerity. 

“As a Gator, I have Grit. This means I know how to Adapt when things get difficult. I am Teachable. I take the Opportunity every day to learn and grow. I Respect myself, others, my school and my community. As a Gator, I will be a Success today, tomorrow and always.”

I have served in school administration for over 15 years in a variety of roles including director, assistant principal, principal and assistant superintendent. My favorite and most treasured role has been being a Principal! I love being in my building with my kiddos where the good stuff happens! Here at EHE, I have been blessed to work with an incredible community of educators, students and families that love their school and do what is best for kids! It is the Gator Way!

Thank you for the opportunity to serve and love your children each day!

Dr. B
