Buzzer Entry System
As we continue to improve school safety for our students, we would like to make you aware of a new safety measure coming to our school.
A Buzzer Entry System is being installed in every Boone County school building. This will allow visitors to be identified by the school, before they are permitted to enter the main office. The Buzzer Entry System is an added layer of security in addition to our School Resource Officer partnership with the Boone County Sheriff's office.
The Buzzer Entry System will be operational at the start of the new 2018-2019 school year. This additional safety feature enhances safety for the visitor as well as our students and staff. As we strive to continually enhance our school safety, we would ask that you please call ahead to alert our office staff that you are coming so they will be expecting you. A photo id will still be required once you enter our main office.
Thank you for your support and understanding in helping us secure our schools for our children and staff.

College&Career Coach
Our College and Career Readiness Coach, Dr. Jennifer Warford will be working with the majority of the seniors as well as all other grades in regards to planning and providing college and career opportunities throughout the school year. If your student would prefer to remain with their current counselor for their senior year (Hinton: A-G, Vickers: H-O, Guthrie: P-Z), please
sign up here.
We have two new to Cooper counselors. Ms. Vickers (H-O) and Ms Guthrie (P-Z) has both counseling experience and high school experience.
This request will be on a first come, first served basis, with a cap of 30 for each counselor. In the event a counselor doesn't reach the cap, we will randomly assign students to reach 30 per counselor. The deadline to request to remain with your current counselor will be September 1st or until the cap is reached, whichever comes first.

Dress Code
With educating young people our priority it is our expectation that high school students dress appropriately. No form of clothing or personal appearance will be allowed to interfere with the educational process or environment. School authorities may limit or prohibit any type or style of student dress, personal appearance or use of apparel, which, in the judgement of school officials, is deemed to create a disruption of the educational process or environment, including clothing that fits in an appropriate manner.
The following attire is appropriate:
- Pants or jeans of the appropriate size and length which do not drag on the floor or expose undergarments.
- Holes or frays in jeans below the knee only, and any leggings must be without sheer or mesh panels above the knee.
- Shirts/blouses, sweatshirts, or t-shirts which do not display vulgar, profane, sexually explicit or implied meanings, double meanings, alcohol, tobacco or drugs, racially inappropriate items, items that reference violence (any weapons), or any other items deemed to be offensive by the faculty, staff, or administration.
- Shorts worn correctly that are knee-length and without holes or tears.
- Skirts/dresses (must be knee-length) even if worn with leggings or tights.
- A technology device sleeve.
