Read MoreTrenton “made” Dr. Copeland. Thank God the “world” didn’t “take him” away from us. He remained here and became a role model for so many in our community. His spirit lives on in those of us whose lives he touched.

Dr. Copeland was a gentleman and a quintessential educator. He encouraged me to work in the Trenton Board of Education. He has gifted a lasting legacy to all who knew him.

I owe my advancement in education to Dr. Copeland. He was the principal at Trenton H.S. when I finished my master's degree in Educational Administration and applied for a vice principalship under him . He endorsed my appointment and later supported many of my proposals to improve student performance in 'Trenton. He asked me to accompany him to New Orleans to attend the national conference on curriculum advances in high schools. I was very excited to see him named Superintendent of Schools...

My memories of Dr. Copeland go back as far as my first day at school in 1960, and my last was as a graduate of TCHS "73". He served as a good role model, watching him go from Mr. to Dr. Teacher to Principal to the Superintendent. He taught us to climb. That was and still is an important lesson for students. To reach for something, achieve it, and always climb.
