Our Team

Rebecca Hancock has been an educator since she graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University in 2005.  After earning her Bachelor’s in Education, Rebecca taught in a variety of grade levels from Kindergarten through 8th grade and held a variety of teacher leader roles as she earned  a Master’s of Education from Northern Arizona University.  These years were very formative in her growth as an educator and provided a solid foundation as she learned about instruction and leadership.  She has been a principal since 2018 and is finishing her Doctorate of Education, which has allowed her to refine her leadership skills and understanding of schools as an organization. In 2021, she was honored to accept the position of principal at EAGLE College Preparatory Schools South Mountain, where is eager to partner with families, educators and scholars to ensure all EAGLE scholars soar.

Rebecca enjoys spending time with her husband and young son.  She loves to cycle with her family, hike, and read.
