Dear Copeland Elementary Families,

It is with great excitement and sincere gratitude that I introduce myself as the new principal of Copeland Elementary School. I am honored to join this exceptional learning community and look forward to partnering with you in support of your child’s academic and personal growth.

As we begin this new school year, our theme is:

“We are Copeland... Wildcats are Wild About Learning!”

This theme reflects our shared commitment to cultivating a vibrant, inclusive, and intellectually engaging environment where every student is encouraged to explore, inquire, and thrive.

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, Copeland Elementary is dedicated to nurturing globally-minded learners who are principled, reflective, and compassionate. The IB framework guides our instructional practices and supports our mission and vision:
