About Us

anthony.garner@ruskisd.net I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve the students, staff, and families of Rusk Junior High as Principal. This year marks my 14th year in education, serving as a teacher, coach, and administrator. Being a proud Rusk graduate, it's especially meaningful to give back to the community that shaped me while embracing the "Every Eagle, Every Day" mindset. My wife, Cristal, and I are raising four children: Xavier, Rylie Jo, Marisol, and Ayden. Life Verse: Isaiah 40:31

breanna.hancock@ruskisd.net I’m honored to serve the students, staff, and families of Rusk Junior High as Assistant Principal. This year marks 14 years in education as both a teacher and administrator. I’m passionate about helping students succeed. My husband, Glenn, and I have proudly called Rusk home for over a decade. We’re currently raising five RISD Eagles and have five grown children. Go Eagles!

nikki.cook@ruskisd.net Serving as counselor at RJH has been one of the greatest joys of my career. As a wife, mom, & proud member of the Rusk community, I am grateful to serve in a school district that feels like family & is deeply committed to helping students succeed. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family: cheering them on, exploring the outdoors, or spending a quiet evening at home with our pets. I love the people, traditions, & sense of community that make Rusk so special.
