Golden Rule Charter School

Principal's Message

I am very proud to be the Principal of Cockrell Hill Campus. For twenty-one years, education has been the focus of my career. My first three years in the educational field were attained in Puerto Rico, while the remaining eighteen years were achieved here in Texas.

My experiences have included the instruction of bilingual students, teaching Spanish at high school levels, facilitating ESL classes for adults in Dallas, Garland and Plano ISDs. I've worked as a Migrant Education and Bilingual/ESL Consultant at ESC Region 10 and I held the Academic Dean position for Golden Rule prior to being entitled Principal.

My #1 goal for Golden Rule is the continuation of our students' success in all areas. The staff and I are committed to maintaining the high level of student success, while simultaneously developing them to be well-rounded individuals. I truly believe in our school motto of "educating tomorrow's leaders today".

My door is always open to parents and staff, so feel free to stop by and say hello.

Thank you,

Wilfredo Ramos
Principal of Cockrell Hill Campus

I was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico,  graduated with a B. S. in Science in 1975 from Inter American University, Metropolitan Campus.

In 1980, I became a victim of a violent crime, an incident that changed my life forever. I became a new born Christian and refocused my life to become a servant rather than to be served.  

Following my new expectations in life, in 1982 , I moved to Chicago, IL with my two children

Emmy (3) and Edwin (2). For the next ten years, I worked in the Humboldt Park Area, serving a community predominately Hispanics and African Americans as a Community Program Developer, Teacher and Community Agency Director.

After that, I took my family to Tampa, FL and we stayed there for the next 18 years. Graduated from Argosy University in 2002 with a Master Degree in Educational Leadership and retired as a Science H. S. Teacher from Brandon High School in Brandon, FL in 2006.

The rest is history, after four years of retirement, came out with the conclusion “that once you are a teacher, you are always a teacher.” Teaching is my passion and Golden Rule offered me with the opportunity not only to  teach but to mentor, and provide leadership to new teachers.

 Motto: "Making extraordinary thing with ordinary children".
