Staff Profile

Mrs. Joyce Koopman
I feel so honored to be Concord's assistant principal. I have served in this role since the 2015-2016 school year. Prior to serving in this role, I was a 6th grade Language Arts and Social Studies teacher at Van Cleve for eight years. Great learning happens at Concord, and I love getting to be a part of it.
In addition to working with students, I enjoy running, being outdoors, and am an avid sports fan. Primarily though, I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband, Brad, is also an educator. He teaches Science to 7th and 8th grade students at Tipp City Middle School. Our main hobby is spending time with our three children: Noah, Camille, and Ava. They keep us very busy.
As a teacher, I had a quote displayed prominently on my desk that read, “Teach as though they are your own children.” I took great responsibility in making sure that I planned effective and engaging lessons that I would want my own three children to experience. Being in an administrative role, it is still my focus to assist in leading a building where students are considered family and educating them is taken with great care and love.
It takes a partnership between the teacher, student and parents to successfully educate a child. Thank you for your support!
