Bullying Defined
This is a nationwide issue that schools are
attempting to clarify and bring awareness in
order to stop this activity from occurring in our
schools. A commonly accepted definition for
bullying is: "A person is bullied when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other persons, and he or she has difficulty defending him or herself."
This definition includes three important
components:
- Bullying is aggressive behavior that involves unwanted, negative actions.
- Bullying involves a pattern of intentional behavior repeated over time.
- Bullying involves an imbalance of power or strength.
Bullying is NOT an honest mistake, an
isolated incident, a lapse in judgment or a conflict between friends. Friends are going to disagree, argue and possibly say unkind things. This does not constitute bullying behavior. We must teach healthy ways to address disagreements, conflicts and hurt feelings. It is important for teenagers to understand that conflict is normal and healthy in relationships and should be handled respectfully. Learning to handle conflict appropriately maintains the integrity of the relationship. When addressing conflict appropriately it allows students the opportunity to discuss a situation instead of trying to hurt the other person.
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
What should parents of teenagers know, do, and say about bullying? The advice in this guide will help you and your highschooler discuss and deal with this challenging topic. Read more...
Kentucky House Bill 91 - Is the Golden Act Law which prohibits bullying in schools. Cooper High School has a zero tolerance for bullying. Bullying is defined as a student showing intent to intimidate, harass, annoy, or alarm another student with physical, verbal, non-verbal threats, or belittling behaviors. This does include harassing communications via technology or social media.
Click on the link below for additional information to make an anonymous report to us at any time throughout the school year for not only bullying, but intimidation, harassment, weapons or drugs. Report It! This link is also found on our website as well as displayed throughout our building.

Boone County Youth Cabinet (BCYC)
The Boone County Youth Cabinet is a leadership program for high school juniors established in 2002 by the Boone County Fiscal Court in partnership with the RC Durr YMCA, Boone County Schools, Walton-Verona Schools and other partners. The BCYC program fosters students' development in areas of leadership and civic responsibility by offering an opportunity to learn about local government, interactions with local officials, and participation in service learning activities. All BCYC participants must be Boone County residents.
We are pleased to extend the application period for participation in a partially virtual 2020-2021 Boone County Youth Cabinet. Modifying our typical BYCY calendar, we will offer students opportunities to interact with local government leaders virtually through December 2020. We will re-evaluate the 2021 events later this fall.

CERT Testing Grades 9-11
What is CERT?
College Equipped Readines Tool
Early in 2013, ePrep developed CERT, an online assessment product that provides administrators, teachers, parents, and students with the information they need to maximize career and college opportunities for students. In order to accomplish its goal of providing assessment reports that are both incredibly detailed and easy to understand, ePrep sought the guidance of Kentucky principals and teachers.
In the summer of 2013, ePrep released CERT, the College Equipped Readiness Tool.
Here are just a few features that make CERT the only assessment tool of its kind: CERT allows schools to assess students through either online or offline test administrations. Furthermore: - All CERT tests are age appropriate and aligned with the Career and College Readiness Standards
- All CERT tests cover the content areas included in the ACT: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science
- All CERT tests match the format (i.e., # of questions, question types, difficulty level, timing, etc.) of the current ACT, PLAN, and EXPLORE tests
CERT provides valuable data to EVERY stakeholder. Students, Teachers, Principals, and Superintendents can, as appropriate, access reports on:
This will be a valuable tool for students, parents and teachers. This is accessible online anywhere so students can also reinforce skills needed to improve on at home in addition to teachers using this in the classroom. The first assessment in September will be all content areas (English, Math, Science and Reading)-nearly 4 hours. The mid-year assessment will only be English, Reading and Math for those students that are predicted to fall below benchmark on the ACT. The end of the year assessment will be the same as the mid-year as far as who and what content. This will give us the data and resources to help our students grow throughout the school year.
