Hello!  My name is Angela Copponi and I am so excited to be working with all of the amazing children and families at Anniston Elementary!  I am originally from a small town in Pennsylvania but have been fortunate to call Gulfport my home now since 2005.  I currently have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education & Special Education with a minor in Athletic Coaching from Clarion University and a Master of Education from the University of Southern Mississippi, with a concentration in Special Education Behavioral Disorders.  I also have had the honor of receiving Teacher of the Year for D'Iberville Elementary School for the 2008-2009 school year, Teacher of the Year for Anniston Elementary for the 2017-2018 school year, and District Teacher of the Year for the Gulfport School District for the 2017-2018 school year.  Over the years, I have had the pleasure of teaching students with a wide range of abilities in a multitude of educational settings.  I look forward to another amazing year of serving our students and families!
