Barbara Sessoms '82
Barbara Sessoms '82 has been an educator with Virginia Beach Public Schools for 26 years. She currently serves as Principal at Cooke Elementary School and previously was principal at four other Virginia Beach elementary schools. Barbara received her Masters in Education Administration from Old Dominion University and her Education Specialist degree from George Washington University.
Barbara's dedication to her students has caused her to participate in some interesting events. While principal of Glenwood Elementary, Barbara was asked to fly out and land on the USS Harry S. Truman for a visit with parents of some of her students. When she was at Birdneck Elementary, she made a bet with the students that she would jump out of a plane if PTA membership reached 100%. She lost the bet and had to jump. Barbara added that she is afraid of heights and doesn't enjoy flying.
She is active with the Boardwalk Art Show, fundraising for the Contemporary Art Center and is working in her brother, Will Sessoms', campaign for Mayor of Virginia Beach.
