Meet Cathy Watson

From a very early age, Cathy’s parents instilled the value and importance of a good education, for it was something that could never be taken away. It was their nurturing that drove her to become a lifelong learner and quite the inquisitor. Naturally, a career in education was inevitable. After teaching middle, high school, and college-level Math in Florida and Mississippi, Cathy worked as an Educational Consultant, coaching District and School-level administrators and teachers, helping to improve instructional strategies resulting in increased academic outcomes. While in this role, it became evident that low school accountability grades are not indicative of the students’ potential but rather indicative of the gap in expectations and worked hard to change that reality. Cathy earned her Doctor of Education in Administrator Leadership for Teaching and Learning and strives to impact positive social change. When Cathy is not working, she enjoys spending time with her husband and three sons (most likely on a sports field of some kind), reading, and relaxing at home with her Maltipoo.
