Dear Cooper Cougar Community, 

I am honored to serve the amazing students, parents, staff, and community members of Cooper Elementary in my 8th year!  This will be my 28th year in education and 10th year in Garland ISD.  Throughout my educational journey, I have worked as a math/science teacher in various grade levels for 12 years.  In addition, I have worked as an instructional coach for three years and administration for the last 13 years.   

I am committed to ensuring that we create a student-centered community where every child receives differentiated learning that inspires and challenges them.   

I received my Bachelor’s of Science degree in Secondary Education from Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, AR.  My Masters and Doctoral degree in School Administration was attained through Dallas Baptist University.   

I have an amazing husband that I have been married to for 28 years that is also in the field of education along with our son, Tanner who is a music teacher. 

I look forward to working side-by-side with our Cooper families and staff to continue the great success that we have here at Cooper that has been displayed throughout the years!  Please continue to check our website and get set-up with our campus class dojo at the beginning of year to get all updates. 

Thank You, 

Dr. Bobbie Carter
