On July 26th, 2007, Redeemer Episcopal Academy lost its leader, visionary and chief advocate, less than one month before the school’s opening.  His charismatic presence touched everyone who met him.  To honor his memory and fulfill his vision, the school established the Dr. John Cooper Memorial Scholarship Fund.

To donate, please send a check made out to Redeemer Episcopal Academy and include “John Cooper Scholarship” on the “for” line; or click here and donate securely online.

Dr. Cooper’s love of children guided his entire career.  For more than 35 years, he served in upstate New York as a teacher, principal, superintendent of schools, university professor and a sought-after educational consultant.  He was selected as the New York State Principal of the Year and is a member of the University Hall of Fame. He is missed, and his footprint on Redeemer Episcopal Academy is deep.
