My name is Haley Cooper. This is my sixth year at Gainesville and will start my 10th year of teaching.  My husband, Rick and I have three children; Jackson, Brody and Kinsley. They all attend school at Gainesville. When we are out of school, my family and I enjoy being outdoors at the river and lake. 

I am a 2005 graduate of Gainesville High School. I received my degree in Elementary Education from Drury University in Springfield. My previous teaching experience was at Springfield Public Schools and Thornfield. It was always a goal to come back and teach at Gainesville. I am blessed to be back in the community I grew up in. My family and I look forward to cheering on the Bulldogs again this year!
