Noblesville Schools announced on Tuesday the promotion of Renee Cook to the role of principal of Noble Crossing Elementary, pending formal board approval on Oct. 24.

Cook will replace Pat Haney, who recently announced his departure to lead the East Central Educational Services Center after serving Noblesville Schools for over 25 years.

Cook brings 16 years of experience in education, including her most recent role as the assistant principal of Noble Crossing Elementary since 2017.

“Renee has been a strong partner in leading Noble Crossing for the last six years and is more than ready to step into this next level,” said Dr. Heather Hendrich, assistant superintendent of human resources and safety for Noblesville Schools. “I’m confident she will continue to guide Noble Crossing to even greater heights.”

“Pat Haney has made a lasting impact on me and our whole school community and we are all so incredibly grateful for his service to Noble Crossing,” Cook said. “I am truly humbled to take on this new opportunity and excited to continue the great work that our team has accomplished together to best serve our students, staff and families.”

Cook is a Noblesville resident and has three children who attend Noble Crossing Elementary. She holds a master’s degree in Educational Administration from Ball State University and a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Indiana University.

Noble Crossing will begin considering candidates to fill the assistant principal vacancy soon and will celebrate Haney’s tenure with an open house in his honor.
