On Jan. 8, then-Governor Eric Holcomb personally selected Cicero’s own Tony Cook to receive a Sagamore of the Wabash award.
While Cook was surprised by the award, he has had a lengthy and successful period of service to Indiana, both through his service in the Indiana House of Representatives for eight years, his service as Hamilton Heights High School Principal (particularly during the matriculation of Ryan White), as well as assistant superintendent and superintendent at Hamilton Heights School Corporation – a total of 25 years – and his service as Noblesville High School Principal for seven years.
Following his retirement from public office, Cook was named the Executive Director of the Indiana Coalition for Growing and Suburban Schools in late 2023, with the goal of identifying, clarifying, addressing, and advocating for the interests of the growing and suburban schools (currently 24 school corporations) as chief spokesperson to the state legislature.
Well done, Tony Cook!
