He will make the recommendation Monday, June 22, 2026, at the scheduled board meeting. Cochran is currently serving as Principal at Tesnatee Gap Elementary School in the White County School District.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am honored to serve as the new principal of North Hall Middle School and to work alongside its dedicated staff, students, and families,\u201d said Cochran. \u201cAs a resident of the North Hall community, this opportunity is especially meaningful to me, and I look forward to serving the community that my family proudly calls home. North Hall Middle School\u2019s LEAD philosophy\u2014Love, Effort, Attitude, and Discipline\u2014aligns closely with my core values, and I am committed to building upon these strengths through strong partnerships with families, meaningful relationships with students and staff, and an unwavering focus on student success. I am grateful to Mr. Schofield and the Board of Education for the opportunity to return to Hall County Schools and serve the North Hall community. I am excited to continue the tradition of excellence at North Hall Middle School and support every student in reaching their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cochran has served as principal of Tesnatee Elementary School since 2023 and previously served as assistant principal at White Sulphur Elementary (2022-2023) and Oakwood Elementary (2019-2022). Before entering administration, she spent six years teaching at White Sulphur Elementary. Her experience as an educator, administrator, and athletic coach reflects a strong commitment to student success, positive school culture, and meaningful relationships with students, staff, families, and the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNoel Cochran\u2019s deep understanding of effective teaching and learning has helped students and educators succeed throughout her career,\u201d said Superintendent Will Schofield. \u201cShe has a proven ability to support teachers, improve student outcomes, and foster positive school cultures where students and staff thrive. Her roots in Hall County, combined with her experience as an educator and a coach, give her a strong appreciation for the key role schools play in developing the whole child. I am confident she will be an outstanding leader for the North Hall Middle School community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cochran holds a Leadership Tier II Certification from Metro RESA and a Leadership Tier I Certification from the University of Georgia. She earned an Education Specialist degree in Curriculum and Instruction and a Master of Arts in Elementary Education from Piedmont College, as well as a Bachelor&#8217;s degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of North Georgia.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Superintendent Will Schofield announced today his intent to recommend Noel Cochran as the next Principal of North Hall Middle School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":37791,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
