About Coach Cook

Welcome to my web page. I graduated from J.L. Mann as part of the Class of 1974 and after finishing my B.A. and M.Ed. at Clemson, I returned here to teach in 1984. I have taught just about every course that the Social Studies Department offers during my time here. I received National Board Teacher Certification in Fall of 2005 and re-certified again in 2015. 

I also help oversee and coordinate a program called World Class Partners at J.L. Mann. Its purpose is to arrange foreign exchanges with our sister school in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Since beginning this program J.L. Mann has sent over two hundred students to Europe for cultural exchanges where our students live with families from our sister schools for a period of about two weeks. It is a wonderful program that offers many opportunities to our students that those at other high schools are not fortunate enough to have.

This year I will be teaching Advanced Placement World History, and Government and Economics.

J.L. Mann is really a part of the Cook family. In addition to me, my brother and sister were both J.L. Mann graduates. My mother retired from J.L. Mann after almost twenty years as part of its staff and my wife, Jennifer Cook, also works here as our lead French teacher in Mann's World Language Department. 

I will be teaching in room 913 at the rear of our building. Come by and see me if you have a chance!
