Andrea Hutchison- Social Studies Coordinator

This will be my 8th year in Prosper ISD, and 14th year in education. I started in Prosper at Reynolds Middle School, and then worked at Rogers for three years before moving into the Curriculum and Instruction department. I am married to my husband Jim, and we have two daughters who go to Rucker Elementary; Brooklyn who will be going into 3rd grade, and Mackenzie who will be in Kindergarten. I graduated from Texas A&M in 2009 and am a proud Aggie! I love to read and watch a variety of sports. In addition to cheering on the Aggies, I am also a huge Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Mavs fan, and watch just about every game.

Miranda Hansen- Middle School Instructional Coach

This is my 9th year in Prosper ISD and my 2nd year as the MS SS Instructional Coach.


I love to garden and make my own jelly and spices. My family lives in Aubrey, but we also have some land in Oklahoma. We try to get away to the country when we can. My daughter, Noura is 5, starting kindergarten this year, and is in the dual language program at Rucker Elementary. My son, Abram is 3. He loves sports and he is playing soccer for the first time this year.


I received my bachelor's degree in Social Sciences from the University of North Texas and my master's in Educational Technology Leadership from Lamar University. I have spent my 15 years in education teaching high school Social Studies, being an Instructional Technology Coach, and most recently, your MS SS Instructional Coach. I am so excited for this new year together!
