School Notes:
  • Cooper City High School is a secondary school located in Cooper City, Florida which teaches grades 9-12.
  • The school includes standard high school curriculum plus specialized classes devoted to career development including auto tech and computer programming.
  • The school colors are red, black, and white and the mascot is a cowboy named "Lasso Larry." "Pistol Pete," the former mascot, was deemed inappropriate due to the fact that he wields two handguns.
  • The school, built in 1971, is aging quickly and is no longer capable of holding all of the students that occupy it every day due to mold related health issues and the new 6,000 home developement of Waldrep Dairy. A new 36-classroom building is currently under construction with a planned completion date of December 2006. This building will be followed by a new cafeteria building, another 36-classroom building, an office building, and the destruction of the original buildings.
  • The school's most notable teachers are Darryl Schultz, Jackie Searcy, Chris Tully, and Herbert Slusher. Most of these teachers have been at the school for well over 15 years, with the exception of Mr. Slusher. Darryl Schultz, three time teacher of the year, is the most notable math teacher and teaches all levels of Calculus. Jackie Searcy and Chris Tully, teach A.P. World History and A.P. American History, respectively. Both have bragging rights for numerous students passing the A.P. exams. Lastly, Herbert Slusher teaches all levels of Chemistry, and has bragging rights to numerous students passing A.P. Chemistry.
  • Programs: The school is also well known for its extensive Advanced Placement program. Having well over 20 available Advanced Placement courses available to the students, the school creates a positive influence for students admitting into college, usually producing valedictorians with well over 10 AP credits simply from courses taken at the school (ie. 12 credits excluding exams taken by the student independently of Cooper City High).
  • However, the Advanced Placement places arbitrary limitations on students. AP European History, for example, cannot be taken until eleventh or twelfth grade. Some courses which may be common in other schools, such as AP Psychology, are, as of 2006, not offered.
