Mrs. Billie Cooper first came to CA in 1999 with 32 years' prior experience.  He hobbies include camping, coating, reading, and crafts.  Her favorite thing about teaching is working with little children.  "It is exciting to see first-graders lean to read," says Mrs. Cooper.  When asked what she likes most about teaching at CA, Mrs. Cooper said, "There are many things that I like about teaching at Columbia Academy.  I can begin the day by having a devotional time with my class.  The rest of my day can be spent teaching skills to the students.  With the small classes at CA, the students can be grouped for reading.  They can get individual help.  Most of the paperwork is done by teacher assistants.  These assistants also do all of the play ground duty so my time can be devoted to preparing for teaching.  I also like that the  principal, staff, teachers, parents, and students all work together as a team to make CA a great school."
