WELCOME TO MRS. COOPER'S CLASS

Hello and Welcome!

My name is Karen Cooper and I am thrilled to be teaching your 5th grade child at San Onofre School this year. I have been teaching at San Onofre for three years, and have fallen in love with the community and treasure working here at Camp Pendleton. I have been teaching for sixteen years and consider myself fortunate to be a teacher and work with your children, celebrating their successes and helping them persevere through the challenges.

I graduated from California State University Long Beach with a degree in English and Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. I later earned my Masters Degree in Education and taught for twelve years in Huntington Beach before moving to Oceanside.

My husband and I have recently become empty nesters as our children have both graduated college and ventured onto their own. Our daughter works for a biopharm company in San Diego and our son joined the Navy and is stationed in Pensacola, Florida. We are an active family and love living in southern California with the ocean and beautiful weather. Most days I relax by running and weekends are spent outdoors hiking, biking, paddle boarding, or enjoying other recreational activities.

I welcome you and your children to San Onofre with excitement and warmth as we embark on the new school year. I encourage you to reach out with any questions you may have and know I am here for you and your family as we navigate the 2022-2023 school year.
