Congratulations! Dr. Mitchell Conferred Doctorate of Education

We are thrilled to announce that Ron Mitchell, PCA president, has completed his doctoral studies at Lipscomb University. A Doctorate in Education (Ed.D) with an emphasis in leadership and strategic change was conferred in December 2017. His dissertation entitled “Classroom Strategies and Behaviors Facilitating Continued Scholastic Growth” focused on best practices that increase teacher effectiveness and student learning.

“This program expanded my knowledge in the ever-changing field of education and will help me keep PCA on the leading edge of student learning,” said Dr. Mitchell. “A doctorate has been a goal of mine for many years, I am blessed to be able to use it now to influence lives.”

Dr. Mitchell moved to Prattville to take on the role of school president in 2004. Prior to PCA, he was a senior partner of a business consulting firm in Houston, Texas. Dr. Mitchell is also retired from the United States Air Force with 22 years of service.

Join us in congratulating Dr. Mitchell on this noteworthy achievement.
