Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year! I hope that all of you had a pleasant summer vacation. I am excited and looking forward to a great year. I would like to extend a warm Bulldawg welcome to all students new to Copperas Cove High School.
I anxiously await all the achievements and activities that this year’s student body will produce. The arrays of talents possessed by our faculty are far reaching and will positively stimulate a rich learning environment. One of our goals is to prepare our students to be innovative, problem solvers, critical thinkers, and able to meet the challenges of the 21st century. We will continue our efforts to increase rigor in all course work as both freshman and sophomores will have to take the STAAR EOC tests. Freshman and sophomores will have to pass fifteen End of Course exams and have a cumulative score in order to graduate on the Recommended or Distinguished graduation plan. Students and parents should expect more reading, research and accountability as we continue moving forward. We have accomplished much, and the accomplishments of our students in and out of the classroom continue to amaze. As a staff, we are continuously seeking to improve so that every student at Copperas Cove High School receives a quality education.
The quality of our school is the product of a joint effort. The collaborative efforts of our parents, community members, faculty and staff to nurture and support our students are what truly make the difference in their lives. These relationships are priceless. Thank you all for the continued support. You have high expectations for the school and your student’s performance, and we applaud and welcome these expectations.
Our teachers and support staff are excited about the opportunities they will have to work with you during the 2012-2013 school year. Again, I am looking forward to what the future holds for the students of Copperas Cove High School. Go Dawgs!
