Touch of Home At first glance the princi- pals' offices look more like a home environment rather than a school administration office. This personal aspect also carries over into the at- titudes of Principal Lu!-Xnna Stephens and Vice Princi- pal Mary Owens towards their jobs. I try to establish a posi- tive relationship with the students and show them that I really care, Ms. Owens said. Dr. Stephens not only tries to show students that she's concerned about them but tries to bring out a caring attitude from within them also. I try to bring out com- passion - if you can't relate to your students and teach- ers as humans, then you have lost it, Mrs. Stephens said. You can't treat the school like a factory full of robots, agreed Mrs. Owens. Wanting to work in a school was a long-time per- sonal goal for Dr. Stephens. Mike Ray - U.S. History, Economics, Boys' Cross Country Coach, Boys' Head Basketball Coach, Golf Coach. Bob Riddels - Indus- trial Arts, Sophomore Class Sponsor. Ma- linda Seger - Spanish I, Spanish ll. Ken When I was six years old I decided I wanted to work in a school. I used to teach my younger sister after school every day when I got home. Despite all the help prin- cipals give they still get little recognition for their job. What makes a principal feel good about his or her job? I feel really good when students come back and tell me I was the only one who cared about them and their lives, said Dr. Stephens. It makes me feel worthy when students come back and tell me what they are doing now and that I helped them achieve that goal, said Mrs. Owens. Although this is the first year for Dr. Stephens and Ms. Owens to be principals at Coppell High School, most students and teachers feel they have done an ex- cellent job. PRINCIPAL.
