COGBURN WOODS ADMINISTRATORS
John A. Anderson,
PrincipalMy name is John Anderson and I am very excited to begin my fourth year at Cogburn Woods Elementary! I have been an employee in Fulton County for twenty-seven years. I graduated from The University of Georgia (is there any other University?) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education. I began my career teaching third and fourth grade at The Meadows Elementary in College Park. I taught there for nine years. I completed my Masters in Middle Grades at Georgia State University and opened McNair Middle School in College Park as a seventh grade teacher, where I taught science, reading, and social studies for two years. I received a Specialist Degree in Administration from Georgia State University, and went to Holcomb Bridge Middle as an assistant principal. I worked there for six years and then returned to South County to be the assistant principal at Bear Creek Middle. In 2000, I opened Ocee Elementary as the principal. I have had a wonderful career in Fulton County, working with a variety of boys and girls. I am looking forward to another great year at Cogburn Woods.
Anita Erickson,
Assistant PrincipalMy name is Anita Erickson and I am very excited to begin my second year as the Assistant Principal of Cogburn Woods Elementary School. I am married and have three wonderful children, Jordan, Austin, and Olivia. My career began with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Muskingum College in Ohio. I later earned a Masters of Arts degree in learning disabilities from the University of South Florida, and I recently earned an Educational Specialist degree in Administration and Supervision from Lincoln Memorial University. For the past ten years, I have worked in Fulton County schools as an Instructional Support Teacher (IST) in which I oversaw and coordinated the special education programs. Prior to being an IST, I taught special education students with varying exceptionalities for eleven years in Ohio, Florida, and Georgia in grades kindergarten through eighth grade. I look forward to an exciting year at Cogburn Woods!
