Hello! My name is Arin Cockrell, and this is my very first year teaching at HJHS! I graduated from Hartselle in 2013, and received my Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science from the University of Montevallo. I have a Master's degree in Physical Education from The University of West Alabama and am currently in school for Special Education. I worked at West Point Elementary in Cullman for my first year of teaching, but I love the junior high age group so much. I co-teach 7th and 8th grade English a couple of times a day, but I also teach Reading Intervention.

During my free time, I love spending time with my husband, Austin, watching Braves baseball, and reading. I'm so excited for this year and I cannot wait to help my students succeed!
