Welcome from the Principal
Dear Cowboys Parents,
I am excited for another great year at CMS! Our teachers have made renewed commitments this year to challenging, motivating, and supporting your students so every child who enters our building is empowered to reach his or her full potential. The possibilities for success this year are limitless, and we are planning for amazing things!
We are excited to launch a new initiative at CMS this year! Club CREED will be a course on every child's schedule. This course will give our students and staff a unique opportunity to practice team building, develop positive relationships, learn helpful social skills, and promote our school's pillars of character development. These include:
Courage, Respect, Empathy, Excellence, and Determination.
If you are new to CMS, welcome! You have found the best middle school in Texas! Let me introduce myself to you. I am a wife and mom as well. My husband, Jamie, and I have been married for 19 years and we have 2 beautiful children. Hannah is 10 years old and our son, Carter, will be 7 years old in October. I completed my undergraduate work in elementary education at Oklahoma State University and hold K-12 teaching and administrative certificates. I have teaching experience in both elementary and middle school. My graduate and post-graduate work was completed at Texas A&M University-Commerce. We are huge Oklahoma State University fans and travel back to Stillwater for games and special events. It is only fitting that this OSU Cowboy has the privilege to lead the CMS Cowboys. What a joy!
My first and most important commitment to you is to love and care for your children like my own every day. Please don’t ever hesitate to contact me should a need arise. We are here to serve your families.
Respectfully,
Dr. Amber Epperson
Principal, Cockrill Middle School
