1st day of 4's Preschool!


It's time for our weekly Staff Spotlight, where we take time to introduce one of our amazing staff members to you, our community. We hope you enjoy getting to know us a little better.
To kick it off, we have our fearless leader, Adam Eggeling. He is our Superintendent/Principal. This is his 21st year at CO-U. His role has changed several times throughout his time here. Initially he was our High School Business Teacher, followed by Dean of Students, Assistant Principal, 6th-12th Principal, K-8th Principal and then in 2019 he settled into his current position.
Somethings he loves most about working at CO-U are the relationships between our staff and community, and how we all value each other. He also appreciates that he knows all the students names and their families.
Adam states "This is a great place to work. The staff and community are close and supportive. Everyone is here to help and improve." When asked about his favorite school lunch, Crispitos won his vote, by far.
After school, Adam calls Denison home, which he shares with his significant other Jessica. He has two children, Aidan (15) and Brylee (12). Jessica has three of her own, Dominik (16), Giana (15) and Daimian (13).
Outside of work, Adam loves spending time with his kids and family at their events and activities. He also enjoys going golfing.

Due the excessive projected heat index for tomorrow evening, August 21, CO-U's open house will be a bit different. You are welcome to come in from 5 until 7 and drop your stuff in your rooms by setting it on your desks or putting it in your lockers. Staff will not be in their rooms though due to the excessive heat and us not having air conditioning in the majority of our building. If you need to get ahold of your child's teacher, please feel free to email them or request a phone call from them through our office. Thank you for your understanding with this.

The Countdown has begun! One more week till the start of COU's 23/24 school year! Mark your calendar because August 23rd will be here before you know it. We are super excited to see all our returning students and even some fresh new faces. See ya soon.
