Hooks Junior High’s Odom named Region 8 Principal of the Year

A Hooks educator said being named the Region 8 Principal of the Year has been a team effort and she is just a “piece of the puzzle.”

“I didn’t do it on my own. Our campus came together … It wasn’t just me. I’m just a piece of the puzzle and if we don’t all work together the way that we do, then the pieces of the puzzle just don’t fit together,” Kelly Odom said.

Odom is the principal of Hooks Junior High School and was named this year’s principal of the year through the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals.
