HTX Spotlight /// The John Cooper School 📓

At The John Cooper School in The Woodlands, education is more than academic excellence — it's a mission-driven commitment to developing the whole child. Since its founding in 1988, the independent PK-12 college preparatory school has steadily grown into a cornerstone of the North Houston education landscape, known for producing thoughtful, engaged citizens and future leaders.

Dr. Stephen Popp, head of school, frames the Cooper experience as one rooted in intentionality, tradition, and forward-thinking educational practices.

“We put the student at the center of everything we do,” Popp says. “We foster a caring environment where we challenge students academically, intellectually, artistically, and socially, equipping them not just for success in college, but for a lifetime of learning and leadership.”
