Cooper High School (Abilene, Texas)
O.H. Cooper High School (commonly referred to as Abilene Cooper) is a public high school located in Abilene, Texas. It opened in 1960, in part to handle the increase in school age youth resulting from the Post World War II Baby Boom. It is one of three 4-year High Schools within Abilene Independent School District.
Cooper High is named for Oscar Henry Cooper, who was president of Baylor University from 1898 to 1902.〔(Oscar Henry Cooper at the Baylor University website )〕 Prior to such time, his advocacy for a state-supported and state-controlled university led to the establishment of the University of Texas.〔(Cooper at the University of Texas website )〕 After his time at Baylor, Dr. Cooper was president of Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene until 1909. Thereafter, he headed "Cooper's Boys' School" in Abilene until 1915.〔(Roots Web )〕
==Faculty and academics==
Abilene is the home of Dyess Air Force Base and Cooper students have benefited from retired officers, and spouses of officers, from Dyess becoming teachers at Cooper. Retired US Air Force Colonel James Alderman, a mathematics and science teacher at the school, explained to his students that he worked on the development of the Gamma Ray Spectrometer and did research relating to nuclear fusion while in the United States Air Force. Retired US Air Force Colonel James Zumwalt taught Honors Calculus and, in 1981–1982, was zoo keeper over his homeroom class that called itself the "Zoo." Members of the Zoo included many of the top graduating students in 1982 and yet still managed to win the intramural sports championship.〔''Abilene Reporter-News'', May 27, 1982, "Theory of Zoo-itivity: We - MC2"〕
In the years 1979 to 1982, Cooper consistently fielded teams for UIL competitions that finished in the top of their subject areas, including Speech, Creative Writing, Orchestra, Math, Band, and Choir. Cooper graduates frequently were named as Scholars, Finalists, Semi-finalists, and Commended by the National Merit Scholarship Program. Six members of the Class of 1982 received the Scholar designation.〔Abilene Reporter-News, April 23, 1982, page B1〕
