CISD Distinguished Alumni Jacob Schick, Pete Wilson, Dr. Toral Patel, and Clay Phillips

The Coppell ISD Education Foundation (CEF) held its annual Recognition Banquet on April 23, 2019 at the Embassy Suites in Grapevine.  The event celebrated the graduating seniors in the top five percent at Coppell High School and New Tech High @ Coppell as well as Teachers of the Year from each Coppell ISD campus.  In addition, four Distinguished Alumni were recognized for their accomplishments since graduating from Coppell. 

This year, 43 Coppell High School and 4 New Tech High @ Coppell students were honored on this special evening.  For the event, each senior invited a Coppell ISD teacher who made a positive impact on their academic career.  At the banquet, the students were given the opportunity to honor their selected teacher by sharing how that teacher had impacted their educational experience.  While the majority of honored teachers were from one of the high schools, there were two middle school and three elementary school teachers recognized. 

Coppell ISD Superintendent Brad Hunt also announced the elementary and secondary district teachers of the year.  Lee Elementary 5thgrade teacher Samira Khan was named Elementary District Teacher of the Year, and Coppell High School Ninth Grade Campus science teacher Cathy Douglas was named Secondary District Teacher of the Year. 

A new honor was recognized at the banquet this year.  Coppell ISD introduced the Distinguished Alumni Award to recognize individuals who have attended Coppell High School, Victory Place @ Coppell, or New Tech High @ Coppell.  They are outstanding leaders in their field and committed to service within their communities.  Four well-deserving alumni, Dr. Toral Patel, Clay Phillips, Jacob Schick and Pete Wilson, embody these characteristics and received the very first Distinguished Alumni Award. To learn more about these honorees, please visit www.coppellisd.com.

The Coppell ISD Education Foundation (CEF) Super Star program was created to recognize Coppell ISD elementary school and middle school students as well as employees from across the school district.  Our district is full of dedicated and hardworking students, teachers, administrators and support staff who often go above and beyond.  CEF wants to give you the opportunity to shine a spotlight on these students and Coppell ISD employees by nominating them to be a Super Star. 

Any Coppell ISD employee (teacher, administrator or support staff) can nominate a student, and any parent, middle school student or Coppell ISD employee can nominate a Coppell ISD employee.  For each nomination period, two students per grade and three Coppell ISD employees will be selected at elementary schools and five students per grade and five Coppell ISD employees will be selected at middle schools.  Awards are presented at school assemblies, on the morning announcements or in the classroom, depending on the school.  Recipients receive a Super Star shirt, a certificate with the nomination printed on it and either a mechanical pencil or a pen/stylus.  Those who are nominated but not chosen will also receive a certificate with the nomination made in their name.

To make a nomination, visit http://coppellisdef.com/super-star. The nomination deadline is April 26, 2019 at 5pm, and this is the last opportunity to nominate someone for the 2018-19 academic year.
