'''Coppell High School''' is a secondary school located in [[Coppell, Texas]], a [[suburb]] of [[Dallas, Texas|Dallas]]. Currently, it is the only [[high school]] in the Coppell Independent School District. The school graduated its first class of twenty-three students in 1965. As of the [[2004]]-[[2005]] school year, current enrollment is 2,933 students in grades 9-12. Athletic teams are known as the "Cowboys", the school colors are red, black and white.
Many of the children have Mayer in their names, so it doesn't seem logical that this is a given name. Could it be the family name in Hebrew, to which the Rothschild name was appended?
