Teacher Bio: Hello, I am Amy Rice. Although this is my first year at Cooper, it is my 25th year teaching. I have also now have had the unique experience teaching all grades from 1st through 12th. I love teaching and seeing each student grow and achieve throughout the year. It is an honor and pleasure to share your child with you and to be able to help each one succeed and reach beyond their first belief. I grew up in Mesquite and am a cat mom to two fur babies Coa-Coa Batman age 12 years, and Cinnamon Spicer (Cynman) age 8 years. My one sibling currently lives in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, but will be relocating to Georgia soon with my nephew.
