Pete Hall, Executive Director

 |
Mr. Hall, founder of EducationHall, is currently the principal
of Sheridan Elementary School in Spokane, Washington. Before that
he was principal of Anderson Elementary School in Reno, Nevada.
Anderson was the only school in Nevada to have failed to make AYP
for four consecutive years prior to Mr. Hall’s arrival, and
alongside his leadership it became the only Title I school in the
state to receive High Achieving designation just two years later.
Bilingual, energetic, and incorruptible, Mr. Hall demands that the
focus rests squarely on the target: student achievement and child-centered
growth. “I can see the potential in every school I enter,”
he says. And why? “Because it’s full of children.” |
