At the Doddridge County Board of Education regular meeting on December 2nd, held at the Doddridge County Bus Garage, Superintendent Cochran took a moment to shine a spotlight on the unwavering dedication and service of the board’s members.
Pictured are President Chad Evans, Vice President Denver Burnside, Laura Cottrill, Justin Holtz, and Leslie Underwood. These individuals were recognized for their behind-the-scenes efforts and collaborative work that form the foundation of the district’s success.
In his remarks Superintendent Cochran expressed gratitude, stating, "I always say it takes exceptional people to make a meaningful impact on students in our system, and the five of you are truly the pillars that uphold our students and staff. Your unwavering dedication, countless hours, and steadfast commitment ensure the safety, well-being, and educational success of every student in this district. Your efforts may often go unseen, but they are deeply felt throughout our schools and community." As a token of appreciation, each board member was presented with a plaque acknowledging their hard work, leadership, and commitment to the students, staff, and families of Doddridge County Schools. The recognition served as a reminder of the vital role the board plays in shaping a strong and supportive educational environment.
In response, President Evans shared: "On behalf of the school board, we humbly thank the Superintendent for the kind recognition. It’s truly an honor to serve our students and employees."
