Hello Parents, Teachers, Students, and HES Stakeholders,
Bio
My name is Nick Cottrell, Principal at Hatton Elementary School. I’m incredibly honored to have the opportunity to work at HES in the Colbert County School system. I would like to thank Dr. Satchel and the Colbert County Board of Education for their trust in my leadership and goals I have for HES. I have worked in education for 14 years as a teacher, coach, and assistant principal. Education is a passion of mine, and I look forward to sharing that with all stakeholders in the Brick-Hatton community.
I am married to Jenny Lee Cottrell. We have two boys, Owen 13, Evan 11, and a dog named Meeko. My family and I love traveling, spending time outdoors with family and friends, and watching Alabama football.
