Mrs. Kimberly Cochrane has been one of the best principals i have ever met. She has went beyond just being a principal to her students. She makes sure even their families are taking care of. There is no better deserving principal then her.

I work for Ms. Cochrane at Washington Elementary. Ms. Cochrane goes above and beyond for her staff, students and families! I LOVE working in her school! She is always available to help even when she doesn’t have to. She spends so much of her own time on her school to make it a better place. Her days are extremely busy but it does not stop her from going the extra mile for her staff. I am blessed to be a part of Ms. Cochrane’s school! ????

Kim is an amazing principal. She goes above and beyond daily to make sure the children in her building are supported academically, and emotionally. She makes sure their basic needs are met first. She is always looking at data and working with her team to identify ways to promote growth in her students.
