Beth Cook was born and raised in
Pennsylvania. Her father still lives in the home where she grew up. She
has one younger brother who still lives close to her dad. Most
vacations are spent visiting family in the northeast.
Beth met and married Mr. Cook in
California in 1975. They spent several years traveling around the
country while Mr. Cook worked for a national restaurant chain. They
lived in Texas, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, South Carolina,
Georgia, and Delaware. Both Mr. and Mrs. Cook still love to travel
around our beautiful country. In 1980, they moved to Ada, OK, to open a restaurant and be near Mr.
Cook's relatives. Then in 1985, the Cooks moved to Tulsa, OK.
It was in Tulsa that Mrs. Cook
finished her Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education at the
University Center at Tulsa. She worked as a second grade teacher in
North Tulsa for 10 years. During those years, Mrs. Cook earned a Master
of Education degree in reading from Northeastern
State University. After that, she did graduate work at Oklahoma State University
in educational administration.
In 1998, Mrs. Cook was hired as the
principal at Kane Elementary School. It has been a pleasure for her to
associate with the excellent teachers, students, and parents at Kane.
Beth loves to read and to swim. During
summer vacation, she can be found at the pool with a good book!
