Letter from the
SUPERINTENDENT Dr. Brad Hunt Dear Coppell ISD Community, In my more than 30-year education career I could never have imagined that schools would close for so long in the spring. I also witnessed the countless hours our staff spent planning for returning to school this summer. So much has changed since the spring in how we go about our daily lives and how we deliver education to our students. This experience has shown me what makes Coppell ISD so special. I saw how our teachers rallied to deliver instruction in new ways, how our parents/families showed their grit and resilience in tough times, how our graduating seniors modeled what it was like to make lemonade out of lemons and how our community showcased their support for our district from a distance. Now, more than ever, our core values of authentic relationships, collective engagement, great teaching and redefining success are essential in our district trajectory. Even in our current crisis, these core values remain the hallmarks of CISD and guide everything we do in achieving our mission of, “Working together, we are committed to creating profound learning experiences for each child, while nurturing meaningful relationships, to positively impact our world.� As you read through these pages and link to the videos and digital content, you will see the stories of our students, educators, staff and community who show our core values in action. I also want to thank our business and organizational partners for their advertising support, which helps make this magazine possible. I encourage you to support them, as they support us. I have never been more proud to be your superintendent and to lead this district. I hope you enjoy this issue. Sincerely,
Superintendent Coppell ISD
