Cold Hill Elementary School

Welcome to the Cold Hill Family ❤️🐻💙

Laurel County Public Schools is pleased to announce Susan Cornelius as the new principal of Cold Hill Elementary School.

Mrs. Cornelius is a dedicated educator with 15 years of experience. She has served as a High School Interventionist at both North Laurel and South Laurel High Schools, providing targeted academic and behavioral support, and as a teacher at North Laurel Middle School. She has also served as a school leader of the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS) program, promoting a positive, student-centered school culture.

Mrs. Cornelius holds a Master's in Principalship and School Counseling, a Specialist Certification in Reading and Writing, and is pursuing a Ph.D. in School Leadership.

"I am incredibly excited to begin this next chapter of my life, leading the amazing staff and students at Cold Hill Elementary,” said Mrs. Cornelius. "My vision is to honor and continue the wonderful growth of the students and staff that was previously cultivated by the former principal. Together, we will build upon that strong foundation to reach even greater heights."

When Mrs. Cornelius is not at school, she enjoys spending time with her family, making lasting memories. She is also a member of the First Baptist Church of East Bernstadt worship team, where she shares her vocal talent.

Congratulations, Mrs. Cornelius, on your new position!

🐻❤️ After years of incredible leadership, dedication, and love for our school, our beloved principal, Melanie Gover, is officially retiring.

Mrs. Gover has always reminded us that when students feel safe and loved, learning follows. She has truly lived out that mission every single day, pouring her heart into our CUBS and making Cold Hill a place where joy and learning go hand in hand. From academic pep rallies and dress up days to ensuring every child felt special, her impact on our close-knit community is immeasurable.

Thank you, Mrs. Gover, for your unwavering leadership, your constant encouragement, and for teaching us all what it truly means to show our CUB pride.

Congratulations and best wishes on this well-deserved new chapter! ❤️

Yesterday our 5th graders took their last field trip as Cold Hill Cubs! They had an amazing day at Dollywood! 🎢☀️ It may have been hot, but the laughs, roller coasters, delicious food, sweet snacks, bus ride with all their friends and unforgettable memories made it all worth it. Days like these are the ones our students will remember for a lifetime, and we loved getting to experience it with them! ❤️
Once a cub, always a cub! 🐻
