Principals of the Year Named to Represent Bossier Schools in State Competition
Three Bossier Parish school principals were surprised this week by Superintendent Mitch Downey and an entourage of well-wishers when they learned they had been chosen as the 2022-23 Principals of the Year.
Andrea Spinney was chosen as Bossier Schools’ Elementary Principal of the Year. Spinney is principal at Haughton Elementary. Judy Grooms, principal at Cope Middle School, is the Middle School Principal of the Year; and David Haynie, principal at Haughton High School, was selected as the district’s High School Principal of the Year.
Each of these educators met a stringent list of criteria established by the state Department of Education and were chosen by a Bossier Parish School Board District Principal of the Year Committee. The three now advance to the state level to compete among candidates from school districts throughout Louisiana for the overall title of 2022-23 Principal of the Year.
