Cheerleading at Coupeville High School has been an integral part of the spirit in our school district since the 1930's. Over the years, many young ladies, and even some fine young men, have been a part of these cheer teams. The cheerleaders have worked hard to help bring victories to our athletic teams. The atmosphere of a game often affects the outcome for the teams. Similar to how the atmosphere of a room affects how we feel.....so too, the atmosphere at the football games and in the gymnasium affects how the athletes feel. When the tension is high, and the victory gets down to the wire, it is crucial that the athletes feel the support of the crowd. This is where the cheerleader's job becomes so important. Getting the crowd to stand to their feet and show their Wolf Pride is imperative!

Celebrating Years of Service

Coupeville schools have benefited from the long-term commitment of staff; people who have modeled life-long learning and weathered the storms of changing expectations for education. We highlight these employees who are retiring from Coupeville to publicly thank them for their service.

MINI-GRANTS

All of these outstanding retiring teachers used mini-grants to help with special projects over the course of their careers that were funded by generous donors to the foundation. You can designate your contribution (no matter what amount) towards a mini-grant in a variety of ways. You can designate a certain teacher, building, or area of interest.

Carol Harrison has taught elementary and middle school students for the past 24 years in Coupeville. She is retiring with over 30 years as a teacher. She feels her best years in the school were at the middle school, which opened in 1992. Mrs. Harrison was the sixth grade class advisor and the middle school Geography Bee and Spelling Bee advisor. She said she felt privileged to work "with colleagues I respect and admire, to be in a

community that values education; to work with parents who support the learning and well-being of their students; and to teach children."
