New Head of School for 2022

The John Cooper School is proud to announce the appointment of Stephen Popp as the next Head of School

Recognized broadly at Cooper as a leader of the highest integrity, Mr. Popp has a tremendous commitment to the school’s mission and a deep appreciation for the importance of balancing tradition and innovation. With over two decades of experience as a teacher, dean of students, division head, and assistant head of school, Mr. Popp has accrued a wealth of pedagogical expertise. His professional journey began at Plano Senior High School where he was an Advanced Placement U.S. History, Government, Comparative Government, and World Geography teacher. In 2005, he moved to Houston where he served as an Upper School Faculty member and Dean of Students at St. John’s School for ten years until 2015. And as we all know, Mr. Popp has most recently served Cooper admirably as Assistant Head of School from 2019 and as Head of Upper School since 2015.
 
Mr. Popp holds a B.A. in History from Baylor University and an M.A. in History from the University of Houston as a James Madison Fellow. He earned his M.Ed. in Independent School Leadership at Teachers College at Columbia University in 2015. Over the years, he has participated in numerous professional development workshops and ISAS accreditation visits. Just like the students and faculty he oversees, he continues to grow, evolve, and learn, believing strongly in a collaborative growth mindset. Mr. Popp will soon complete a Doctor of Education in Leadership, Learning and Organizations at the esteemed Peabody College of Vanderbilt University.
 

 

 

"I am grateful to continue to serve this special school community as we together build upon the school’s tremendous successes," Stephen Popp
