Ms. Leigh Cooper

My name is Leigh Cooper, and I am an ESOL teacher at Brandywine. I have been teaching for over 20 years, and I have worked with many different grade levels. I enjoy helping our Badgers acquire English while supporting classroom teachers. I also love helping students learn, explore and grow! My goal as an educator is to instill a lifelong love for learning. In my free time, I love spending time with my husband, our four adult children and two dogs. I also enjoy reading, exercising and time at the beach. ​

My husband, Barry, and I have been married for 29 years and we have two girls. Natalie (22) graduated from UGA last spring. Camille (19) is beginning her sophomore year at the University of Tennessee. We also have 2 dogs – Leia and Finn (my baby). Our family loves to spend our free time outdoors. We especially like skiing, hiking, and spending time on the lake!
