Andrew Cockley Principal andrew_cockley@hcpss.org
Hello Lime Kiln! I am so excited to become a Leopard this year and to get to know on a deeper level what makes this a great school community. My background in school administration spans over 20 years in multiple school systems and levels and I enjoy getting to know new people in each of the communities I serve. I started my career in education as a middle school teacher and taught math and computer science throughout high school as well. My degrees come from Gettysburg College (Bachelor of Arts in Management and Finance), Arcadia University (Masters in Math Education), and Johns Hopkins University (Masters in School Administration and a Doctorate of Education). I love to learn and hope to instill this in our students too. In my personal time, I enjoy the great outdoors, traveling, and expanding my horizons. One beauty of middle school is seeing how students begin to develop a sense of what they love and who they aspire to be, and I look forward to meeting you this year! Go Leopards!
