Congratulations to Jess McReynolds, named principal of Lubbock-Cooper Middle School by the LCISD Board of Trustees at tonight’s regularly scheduled meeting. Mrs. McReynolds will assume leadership of the campus at the end of the 2021-22 school year.
Mrs. McReynolds is a native of Huron, SD, and has lived in Colorado Springs, CO for many years. She attended the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. She currently serves as an assistant principal in Colorado Springs Academy District 20, and was previously the Induction Coordinator and Professional Learning Teacher on Special Assignment in the same district.
Mrs. McReynolds and her husband, Keith, have three children: Will, Makayla, and Kensley, all of whom will soon become Lubbock-Cooper Pirates!
"I am very honored and excited for the opportunity to serve as principal of Lubbock-Cooper Middle School," said Mrs. McReynolds. "I share the same commitment and dedication to creating the leaders, achievers, and creators of tomorrow. I believe and take pride in building positive relationships with students, staff, parents, and community members. We are eager and thrilled to be part of the LCP family, and I thank this community for this incredible opportunity!"
Congratulations to Lubbock-Cooper Middle School Principal Tami Gunset, who has been appointed as the district's Coordinator of Girls Athletics!
Mrs. Gunset is in her 18th year at Lubbock-Cooper ISD, where she has served as the LCMS principal for nine years. In her time with the district, she has also served as the head volleyball coach, health teacher, and assistant softball coach at LCHS, and assistant principal at LCMS. She is credited with assisting in the design and opening of the new LCMS campus, one of the most innovative and collaboration-focused educational facilities in our area. Mrs. Gunset was named the Texas Association of School Principals Assistant Principal of the Year in 2013, and Lubbock-Cooper ISD's Pirate of the Year in 2021.
"I have been so honored to serve as the LCMS principal for many years, and now I am so excited for this opportunity to work with the girls athletics programs throughout the district," said Mrs. Gunset.
