Cooperstown Junior-Senior High School

Message from the Principal

Welcome to Cooperstown Junior/Senior High School – Where Excellence Meets Opportunity!

As the proud principal of Cooperstown Junior/Senior High School, I believe every student deserves to feel valued, supported, and inspired to learn. With over 22 years of experience in education, my commitment is to create an environment where each student can thrive—academically, socially, and personally.

From mentoring programs to family engagement events, our school community works together to ensure success for all. Our students don’t just learn—they flourish! With dedicated teachers, innovative technology, and personalized learning, every student can discover their own path to achievement.

Dr. Seuss said it best: “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”

At Cooperstown Junior/Senior High School, every day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and shine. When we work together, we all SOAR!

Here are a few tips to help your child achieve their full potential:

• Establish a consistent homework routine: Designate a quiet, well-lit space for homework and set a regular time for its completion.
• Encourage reading: Read with your child daily, even for just 15-20 minutes. This helps develop vocabulary, comprehension, and a love of reading.
• Limit screen time: Set reasonable limits on television, video games, and other electronic devices, especially during study time.
• Celebrate effort and progress: Focus on your child's hard work and improvement, rather than just grades.
• Ensure adequate sleep and nutrition: A well-rested and nourished child is better able to focus and learn.
• Communicate with the teacher: Use ParentSquare to stay in regular contact with your child's teacher to discuss their progress, address any concerns, and collaborate on strategies to support their learning.
