My name is Erin Cole, and I’m proud to be entering my ninth year in education and my seventh year here at Hodges Bend Middle School. I currently coach 8th grade volleyball and boys soccer, and I love being part of such a vibrant and supportive school community. Teaching is my passion—I believe in broadening students’ minds, helping them understand the world around them, and creating a safe space where they feel valued, heard, and empowered to grow.
