Hello from Cynthia Hanauer, Principal

Dear Due West Community,

Hanauer1_4Due West is Golden says it all.  I am embracing the opportunity to lead a top performing Cobb County school that has strong teachers, high achieving students, and active parents.

I am a product of the Cobb County School District attending East Valley, East Cobb and Wheeler.  After graduating from UGA with a Bachelor of Science in Special Education and a Masters in Early Childhood, I began teaching in Cherokee County.  I have worked for nineteen years in the CCSD in five different schools.  As a classroom teacher, I’ve taught kindergarten, first, third, Special Education and EIP.  My administrative experiences were at Brumby, Ford and East Side.  After twenty-six years in education, I can honestly say that working with increasing student achievement is a wonderful job.

Family is a word at the top of my list.  It says who I am.  My husband, Jeff, is in the health care industry and works in management.  He’s an avid Georgia Tech fan.  Whitney, my daughter, will be a junior at Florida State studying business.  She cheers for the Seminoles and is true to the garnet and gold.  I am a Georgia fan and love college football.  I attend games at all three colleges but will never be labeled a Tech cheerleader.

The focus for my first year at Due West will be to continue cultivating the positive school culture, giving consistent and clear communication, and providing a challenging curriculum.  Together, WE will ensure that our students learn in a caring and sharing environment that promotes each child’s personal growth.  My office door is always open.  With the current construction at Due West, I have been working from different schools.  If you should need me please use email.

Sincerely,

Cynthia N. Hanauer
