“I share this honor with the staff, community and most of all the 1,000 plus students I have the pleasure of serving each day at Adolphus,” Cooper said.
Winning this accolade puts Cooper in the running for the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP)’s National Assistant Principal of the Year Award for Texas.
