TYLER, Texas — All Saints Episcopal School in Tyler trustees on Sunday accepted the resignation of Head of School Mike Cobb after he served in the role for six years.

The board of trustees selected Kathy Wood as the interim head of school. She previously worked at All Saints for several years before leaving for administrative positions in New York, Michigan and Tennessee. 

"Kathy and her husband Coach Bob Wood already occupy a special place in the heart of the All Saints  community. We welcome Kathy back and are excited about her involvement with the future of  All Saints," the statement read.
