Patricia Webb Cooper with Dr. Selma Burke, sculptor of the dime.   Dr. Burke was in her 90's at the time of the photograph was made.

 

Patricia Webb Cooper Elementary School was dedicated on August 8, 1999; and it officially opened its doors on August 12, 1999. A nine classroom wing addition, additional restrooms and front and rear outdoor covered walkways were completed in 2006.  The enrollment for 2007-08 is approximately 580 scholars from Kinder to Fifth Grade.  Cooper Elementary is staffed by approximately 70 dedicated individuals. Please refer to the links in the left column for more information regarding attendance zones, location, student handbook and code of conduct among many other informative links.

The school was named for Patricia Webb Cooper, who was a teacher in the Georgetown I.S.D. for ten years before her death in 1997. Mrs. Cooper had taught fourth grade at Carver Elementary, Williams Elementary, and Pickett Elementary in Georgetown, Texas. She was educated at Southwestern University in Georgetown, where she was selected as student teacher of the year, an honor that was repeated when she was voted as Williams Elementary Teacher of the Year in 1995.

Pat was a wonderful teacher who truly cared about the children she taught. She used her sense of humor, love of learning and of life, musical talent, creativity, and energy to make learning come to life for her students.

Pat's caring for others was demonstrated in many ways. She was the sponsor for TAME (Texas Alliance for Minorities in Engineering,) and her TAME club at Pickett won a state award for excellence. She was also active in the community music through her churches in Brenham, where she grew up, as well as in Georgetown.

In addition to being a teacher, Mrs. Cooper was a wife, mother, friend, and a mentor to many co-workers. Her beautiful spirit lives on in the hearts of the people whose lives she touched; and Patricia Webb Cooper Elementary School is very proud to be named for such a fine educator and special person.
