1 Mm vo.. LW The torrential fall rains were a dismal reminder that students must once again return to Coppell High School after the long, lazy summer vacation. However, when these bleak faces began searching for their first period classes, the realization hit that this wasn't the same old CHS. With the expansion of the high school into the former middle school building, students began the hundred-yard trek between campuses that came as many as five times a day. Even if someone was lucky enough to have most of his classes in one building, often his locker ended up being in the other building. Freshman Kelly Haskell was only one of many who had trouble understanding how she could have six classes on the north campus but a locker on the south campus. But having the new building had its advantages in giving the crowded north campus some breathing space. With a total enrollment increase of l2l students, you couldn't help but find a new face in at least one class. Newcomers arrived from as close as Irving, like junior Scott Houston and sophomore Tracy Thrasher, or from as far as Saudi Arabia, like sophomore Amanda Riley. lf new faces weren't apparent among the students in a particular class, often the teacher was new. With fourteen additional faculty members, students eagerly asked others what they knew about new people like basketball coach Mike Ray, biology teacher Paula Cogdell, or business teacher Shalone Willms. Responsible for implementing new regulations, tcalled the Discipline Management System, were the new principal Dr. Lou Stephens from Dallas l.S.D., and the new vice principal, Ms. Mary Owens, a Coppell High School veteran teacher. The year was SUBTECT TO CHANGE for the 538 students who walked these halls from September 3 to May 29. Yet, the more they looked around at what they saw, the more they liked the changes taking place.
