So honored to have Patti Locke’s support and endorsement. Patti is a leader who has made a difference in so many lives.

Stephenville Independent School District Voters

I would like to recommend you consider Dr. Rita Cook when you vote for the School Board Place 2 in the May election.

Rita has a heart for this community and is very active in many local projects. Because she is so connected to this community, she knows the current challenges of parents with school age children. She believes our community deserves the best education for its children. In the day and time we live, we are all constantly fed information from many sources, some good, some not so good. Her belief is that our children’s education should be focused on reading, writing, math, social studies, and science.

If you are looking for someone with experience working with various types of boards, Dr. Cook has many years of experience collaborating with such boards. Whether working with superintendents, board members, or even as a CEO of a large educational agency, Rita brings her ideas, her vision, and her sense of community to this school board position.

Dr. Cook has developed her vision for this school district. She wants our district to be recognized for academic success, providing safe school campuses, developing strong relationships with parents and others in our community, and developing a common sense budget to fulfill the mission of our school district.

If you are wondering about Dr. Cook’s background, education, and experiences and how they would relate to this school board position, there is plenty of information to review. She graduated from Stephenville High School. She received her BA and Masters from Tarleton. She earned her Doctorate from Kansas State University. She is an experienced educator and fully committed to making this district the best it can be. She also has been involved as a children’s advocate through CASA. I dare say, you will not find another school board member that has the education along with the heart for this community.

Thank you for taking the time to educate yourself with the candidates in the school board election. I believe Rita Cook is the best person for School Board Place 2 and I would urge you to vote for her.

Sincerely,

Patricia Locke

To Stephenville Independent School District Voters:

​​​​​​​​​​​ I enthusiastically support Dr. Rita Cook for the Stephenville Independent School Board, Place 2. Having grown up in Stephenville, Rita knows the heartbeat of our community.

​Rita’s leadership skills, innovative and independent thinking are easily recognized characteristics that make her a highly respected member of the community. Her vested interest in the community is deeply rooted and a sign of stability.

​Rita’s impressive academic credentials include being a graduate of SHS, two degrees from TSU and a doctorate in Educational Administration from Kansas State University.
Rita’s proven track record of successful achievements in the field of education showcase her broad range of talents. She has certainly proven herself as a strong educational leader serving in various and diverse leadership capacities from teaching in the classroom to serving as a successful superintendent at the administrative level.

Rita understands how the educational system works, the financial challenges school districts are facing and the importance of focusing on and keeping our students the number one priority. Keeping students safe and providing students the educational opportunities that will ensure a successful and productive future is the goal for all Stephenville graduates.
Rita is quick to tell anyone that EVERY student counts!

Rita has a strong belief in hands- on community involvement. She actively serves on multiple and various organizations and boards in Stephenville. Rita’s leadership skills are synonymous with successful outcomes. I currently serve with Rita on the board of 50 Women Strong, a philanthropic organization that provides grants to organizations in Erath County. As president of the organization, Rita’s varied and diverse talents and ideas have been a tremendous asset to the success of the organization.

Experience and longevity helps provide a solid foundation for a strong school district. Rita’s career in education and background in community service provides that essential experience.
If given the opportunity, Rita will provide and build on her past successes and good common sense while helping build a continued, stronger course for the future of Stephenville Independent School District.

Choosing the ‘right‘ school board members is imperative in dictating the direction our district moves in educating our students.

The mission statement for the Stephenville Independent School District is as follows:
“The mission of Stephenville ISD, a premier, values-based, dynamic educational system committed to a tradition of excellence in collaboration with the community, is to ensure that each student achieves his/her highest potential, develops strong moral character, and succeeds in and contributes to a global society as a life-long learner by engaging all students with diversified, challenging programs facilitated by highly-skilled, passionate educators maximizing resources in a positive learning environment.”

After reviewing SISD’s mission statement, I realize Rita Cook’s career demonstrates an alignment with four key elements that stood out to me. I encourage you to join me in voting for Dr. RITA COOK, and here is why….

Tradition of excellence

Rita’s pursuit for a career of excellence started out like many, right here on West Overhill Drive. Rita is a graduate of Stephenville High School and has a Bachelor’s of Arts from Tarleton State University, a Master’s of Education from Tarleton State University, and a Doctorate of Education Administration from Kansas State University. Rita’s family has strong roots in this area and she hopes to honor their history and ensure a successful and productive future for all Stephenville graduates... Rita has a healthy professional background that will add value and excellence to SISD.

Collaboration with the community

Once you meet Rita Cook you quickly feel her strong belief in supporting the community.
She currently serves as the chairman of the Main Street Board and as President for 50 Women Strong, a philanthropic organization that provides grants to organizations in Erath County. She has formerly served in numerous roles such as CASA advocate, Library Board, Parks and Leisure board, and Stephenville Education Foundation Board. She has first-hand experience in seeing how collaboration works and understands that it is vital to create educated, workforce ready students.

Life – long learner

Rita is committed to ensuring that Stephenville Independent School District is recognized as the best school district in our area and state. Her career has been devoted to life - long learning as she worked as a classroom teacher, speech pathologist, special projects director, CEO of a regional education service center, and school superintendent. We need Rita Cook’s experience on our school board.

Passionate educator

It only takes one conversation with Rita to realize her passion for education runs deep. She is asking for our vote so she can give back to a school and community that so richly blessed her life.

VOTE RITA COOK !
