Our district sponsors an event called, An Evening With The Stars. This event recognizes middle and high school students who have placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the state and/or any national placement for school sponsored events only. Due to the timing of this event each year, this also includes any event that concluded after April 2017 through the present.

We have sent this information to our staff but to be sure we do not overlook any recognition, we ask that if your child meets the criteria mentioned above, please email Ms. Cindy Dusing .

All nominations must be submitted no later than the end of the day on Wednesday, April 18, 2018.

Grad Presentations

Our graduates will be participating in graduation presentations the week of April 2-6. Our graduates will present to a panel of teachers, administrators, community and business members on their plans after high school. This is a great event where students share with us their goals, dreams and aspirations. Best of luck to our soon to be graduates!

Honor Roll Recognition

Resilience Movie

Registration is now closed and all seats have been taken.

This screening is hosted by Longbranch Elementary at Cooper High School's library.

We would like to start a conversation about adversity and trauma in our students' lives and how it can impact their health and their educational success. Most importantly, we want to start a conversation about what we as a community can do to positively impact children who have experienced adverse experiences.

Divorce, death of a family member, fighting in the home, alcoholism and drug abuse, multiple moves in a short period of time, financial troubles in the home, abuse. These are just a few of the factors that may have an impact on our students. Sometimes this impact lies within them and we don't see it on the surface until they enter school.

Watch the TED talk by Nadine Burke Harris to learn more. If you RSVP'd this is a reminder to join us on March 28th, 6:00 p.m. for a showing of the film Resilience and afterwards a Q&A about the movie with a licensed clinical counselors.
