Cole Bader, School Principal
Cole Bader - Principal
Hello, Raba family! My name is Cole Bader, and I am incredibly proud to serve as the principal of Raba Elementary. I have been working in education for over 15 years, and every moment has reinforced my belief in “Success for All in Raba.”

I hold a Master’s in Educational Leadership and a Bachelor’s in Special Education. My journey in education has been guided by a deep passion for helping students achieve their full potential and creating a school environment where every child feels valued.

At home, I am blessed to share my life with my amazing wife, who also serves in NISD, and our three wonderful children who keep us on our toes. Being a part of a family that’s dedicated to education drives my commitment to building strong partnerships with families and ensuring the success of every student at Raba.

Parents and community volunteers, we welcome and encourage your involvement and participation in our school. As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, or suggestions.

Go Rattlers!
