Welcome to our cool little school! I am honored and humbled to be the Principal at Cochran Elementary where we are committed to excellence with our 4 Cs: Culture and Climate, Classroom, Collaboration, and Community. #CTheSuccess 

Our mission is to provide high-quality inclusive instruction to ALL students in a caring and supportive environment.  At Cochran, our students strive to demonstrate CATS behavior where we Care for ourselves and others, Achieve at high levels,Try our best, and Stay positive. 

I believe in creating a positive school environment where ALL students have access and opportunities. It is my goal to lead our school in improving student outcomes. I will work in collaboration with all stakeholders to make decisions that are student-centered and focused on growth. It is important to me that our Cochran students, families, staff, and community feel proud to be a Cochran Cat! 

Humbly Yours,

Melissa Cheatham
