Mr. Coopman

Student Reporter: Mariah Keller


When people attend sporting events, they only realize who they are playing and where they have to travel to attend the game. It’s the person behind the scenes who is in charge of when and where the teams play, the athletic director.


Our new athletic director Mr. Coopman received his bachelor’s degree at UW-LaCrosse in physical education and health. He went to UW-Oshkosh to get his master’s degree in guidance and counseling. He taught at Kiel for 23 years and Sheboygan South for eleven years before he came here. He is married with three grown kids. His wife works at Lakeland College as a graphic designer, his oldest son works as a financial planner, his daughter is a photo stylist who worked with Brett Favre and Lance Armstrong , and his youngest son is a technical education teacher.


Mr. Coopman chose this profession because he enjoys high school athletics. Athletes and coaches are his favorite people to be around. Some of his hobbies outside of school include golf, exercising, watching sports, and hanging out with his grandsons. He said that he really likes CG-B, the staff and students he has met are awesome. He enjoys being back at a smaller school.
