AP Exams Update & Price Reduction!

The price of the AP exams has dropped for this year; the state has found some funding to help offset the cost. Exams are now $15. If you already paid in full for your exams, a refund will be issued to you in the coming weeks. 

If you did not sign up previously and are interested in signing up for an exam with the new price, please visit the following link which will be live on Monday at 7am: www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/182561

Exams must be paid for by November 9th at 12:00 noon. This is a hard deadline. 

Honoring Veterans 

Cooper CAN is honoring/recognizing Veterans this year with a slideshow during JAM on Veterans Day. Students and staff are asked to send in a picture if possible and a few details of a Veteran that they would like to honor/recognize. We encourage you to send one in if you know a Veteran as we would love to see a lot of participation. The deadline for submitting the form is November 4th.

Seniors Fall To-Do's

Fall is here, and seniors are one season closer to graduating. Make sure you check these items off your list.

Credit Recovery Session

A Credit Camp session has been scheduled for November 15th-18th. This is for students that have earned an “I” (incomplete) final grade of 60-69% in select classes. This only applies to students that have failed a course; not students who are currently failing a course. Credit Camp is a total of 4, four-hour sessions where students must attend all 4 sessions at Cooper High School until the Credit Camp course is completed and the assessments are passed. Students must attend all 4 days with no absences. Students will receive a final grade of 70% on their transcript if they are successful. There are no costs associated with Credit Camp. Please click HERE for more information. Deadline to register is November 12th, 2021

Picture I.D. Needed 

When you are coming into our main office to pick up your student, it is essential that you have a photo ID.  

For safety and security reasons, a photo ID must be presented and verified prior to a student leaving early with a parent/guardian.

Graduation with Honors and CAMS Applications

CAMS PROGRAM - Cooper Academy of Mathematics and Science

Any senior who has successfully completed the CAMS program curriculum will need to fill out an application in order to be recognized for this achievement at our Senior Honors Night in the spring. Applications can be found outside the guidance office or in the library. Students should submit this application by Friday, November 5.

**This special recognition during senior honors night is by application only by the student and/or parent. 

Community Service 

As part of our graduation requirement, each student needs to have completed 20 hours of community service hours prior to graduating. Volunteering is a great way to identify interests and develop skills.

It is recommended that students perform 5 hours of community service each school year instead of accumulating the hours within one school year. Deadline for seniors to submit hours is February 15th, 2022. Students are required to fill out a community service hours form and return the completed form to the Library Media Center.

Students transferring to Cooper High School on or before September 30th of that school year, will be required to obtain five (5) hours of community service for that year. Students transferring to Cooper High School after September 30th will be exempt for that school year.

Click here for Community Service opportunities.

Click here for Service hour sheets. These are also available in the media center.

Examples of valid community service hours include services that benefit several people in an organized fashion. This includes, but is not limited to: school sponsored activities, Master Provisions, United Ministries, Brighton Center, River Sweep, Special Olympics, Welcome House, Mary Rose Mission, BCPL, YMCA, nursing homes, etc.

Community Services hours that are not organized activities and do not serve several people do not count towards graduation requirements. For example: mowing your neighbor's lawn, babysitting, providing a service that is not organized in nature.
