POWER OF PRESENCE: CMS wants all students at school each and every day--including check ins and check outs! If you are here at school, you can learn! We are rewarding your presence because it is IMPORTANT!!!
Help us congratulate our CMS Lady Cougars Players of the Week!! Great job, ladies; keep up the great hustle and work ethic!!!
What started as a simple idea to refresh a faded mural became something much more meaningful! We saw an opportunity to create a space that reflects not only our pride in Cope Middle, but also the heart of our community. With our strong connection to Barksdale Air Force Base and the many military-connected students we serve, the new mural on the Hero Wall was a natural extension of our Heroes Garden, planted in 2023. Together, they tell a story of school pride, community, and gratitude for those who serve.
Special thanks and recognition to the Artistic Shark, Chris Opp, for bringing this idea to life.
Please take a moment to drive by and take a look; it is absolutely stunning! 💙🇺🇸💙
At Cope Middle School, everything matters! 💙🐾🧡
