Students/Alumni

The Cooke Center School offers its students and alumni many opportunities to come together for fun events, such as basketball games, dances, and street fairs. On May 5, the brand new Cooke Center Academy Players will be performing the Wizard of Oz!

In the coming months, we will enhance this section of our Web site for our students and alumni, including information about upcoming trips and events, class assignments, and a video gallery. Please check back with us soon!

Alumni association

The Cooke Center formally created the Alumni Association in 2008 to bring former students together for socializing, recreation and networking. Alumni attend school dances and other events at the Cooke Center Academy. The Association is 30 members strong and led by Cooke alum David Robards. Below is an article David wrote for Cooke's fall newsletter.

Alumni News

The Cooke Center Alumni Association celebrated its first year with an overnight trip.

First we went to Great Adventure where we went on many rides. The Log Flume ride was my favorite.  John Jordan and Nile Tompkins enjoyed the Dark Knight.  Billy Spillman joined us from upstate New York.  

We left the park very late and had Pizza for dinner.  Mrs. Simic made us eat salad!

We all slept together in a large room at the "Ain't Misbehavin" Dog Camp.  We thank Audrey deGaster and Kara Snow who run this fun camp for dogs for welcoming us.  We had fun playing with the dogs, watching them play and swimming in the pool. 

We also thank Mr. Giardiello for being our driver and Mrs. Simic for going on the rides with us and planning this trip with me.

Other activities this first year included four Dance classes, High School Musical movie night, the Street Fair and two dances at CCA.  Thanks to Ms. Munsch for including us.
