Cooper High School has been a place where I have grown as a student. I have been afforded opportunities I don't believe I would have had at other high schools. If I had to pick one thing that was the worst part of my experience at Cooper, I would say the lack of different class periods for AP classes. This is the only thing I think really should be changed.

I have and will always love Cooper High School in Union, KY. The staff and students are amazing and though the school is large, the people make it feel warm and close. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every day here at Cooper over the past four years and will forever cherish the memories, friendships, and education I have gained during my time at Cooper.

Randall K. Cooper High school is a very interesting place to be. It is a place covered in school spirit just filled of self loathing. As student we can see issues wrong with our school yet we can still take pride in the positive things we can get from our school.

Wouldn’t recommend to sending your child to this school. Teachers are rude. You would be better off sending your kid to a private school & getting better treatment & learning. The amount of bullying that i’ve heard about at that school is unbearable.

I graduated from Cooper 4 years ago and loved my entire time there. I participated in both varsity sports and AP classes and received support in both. I felt like I was prepared for engineering when I got to college and owe most of that to Cooper.
