Let me introduce myself. My name is Bruce Lange, and have been assigned as the Lubbock Cooper Middle School PASS Behavior Teacher. As such, I will be working with students in a self contained setting and others throughout the campus. We will be working on social behaviors, academic assistance, and inclusion into the classroom with a Positive Approach. I have been with Lubbock Cooper for approximately 6 years. I have the pleasure of working at Laura Bush Middle School, as well as West and Central Elementary. During my tenure with LCISD, I have worked with students from Special Populations such as Special Education, 504 designees, At Risk and identified Behavior groups. I will continue to strive to further the success of students’ academic and behavioral success.

I was raised in Phoenix, AZ, but I have been a member of the Lubbock community since 1987, transplanted by the U.S. Air Force, and I am a veteran. I have spent approximately 31 years in U.S. Government service with the Air Force Office of Special Investigation (AFOSI), US Marshal Service (USMS), and finally retired as a Special Agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

I received my Bachelor’s and Master's degrees from Wayland Baptist University. I have received State of Texas teaching certifications for Generalist EC-6, Generalist 4-8, Special Education, and Principalship. As stated above, I began my Lubbock-Cooper career, working at numerous campuses, establishing behavior teaching protocols. I have long been a member of the Lubbock-Cooper family, with my youngest son starting as a student at Cooper North in 5th grade and graduating as a Cooper Pirate in 2014.

I am the father of three outstanding children, Josh (US Navy), Amanda (architect), and John (recent grad of TTU). Blessed to be a Lubbock Cooper Pirate!
