Andrew Cockley Principal andrew_cockley@hcpss.org
I am excited to begin my 7th year at Bonnie Branch Middle School. 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. At Bonnie Branch there is a rich tradition for success, and together, I hope to partner with you to help make your child's experience a positive one as they prepare for high school and beyond. 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 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. I look forward to meeting you this year! Andrew Cockley, Ed.D.

I am thrilled to be entering my second year as Assistant Principal at Bonnie Branch Middle School. In my 27 years in education, I have served in several roles including mathematics teacher, math instructional support teacher, team leader, leadership intern and assistant principal in both Howard and Anne Arundel Counties. I am a strong advocate for student voice and the home-school connection. I am so thankful for the education my own children experienced in Howard County Public Schools and am proud to work with the Bonnie Branch Community to provide a caring, supportive environment for our students. I look forward to meeting all of you!
