In honor of Coach Gold

It's hard to narrow down and select one teacher / coach to recognize. All of them, especially the ones I had the opportunity to learn from, help shape your path to success and become some of your greatest supporters. Coach Gold was one of those for me, especially throughout highschool with our small golf team. Him and Coach Bartlett would bus us around on the Dragon Wagon, always giving their encouragement even if we were disappointed in our own performance.

Keep up the good work, John Cooper. We are very proud of how hard everyone has worked to make this school year be "in person".

Thanks to all the great Cooper teachers, coaches and staff!
