Welcome to Cooper Elementary where we are On the Trail to Success everyday!

It is my pleasure to serve as the principal of our School of Innovation. Cooper is a special place. It is special because of the people within our school community: our licensed staff, our classified staff, our PTO, our parents, our community partners, and most importantly, our students. Each member of our school community is invested in the success of our students. It is unlike any other school, and I am so thankful to be a Bronco.

Cooper Elementary is unique in its architecture and setting. Our building was constructed 17 years ago and sits on the site that once housed the old stables of Bella Vista. In fact, our walls were designed to pay tribute to the barn that once sat here. The result is a beautiful building, playground and outdoor classroom nestled amongst wooded walking trails and winding bike paths.

Our classrooms proudly welcome over 600 Kindergarten through 4th Grade students each and every day. Like our students, our team loves to learn, and we are continually working with our school community to improve our school. We look forward to partnering with you throughout the 2024-2025 school year. It is going to be a fantastic year, and we are so thankful to have your student in our school. Have a great year, Cooper Elementary students and families!
