Reflecting on the journey of the Class of 2024, Laura Schroeder, Director of College Counseling at The John Cooper School remarked, “Although the Class of 2024 members will be heading across the globe to begin their next steps, they know that it’s about the journey, not the destination. After all, the steps in their Cooper journeys—their effort, thought, and leadership—led them to this point, and this work will also be instrumental in their future successes at these colleges and in their life beyond.”
