“I live in the small town of Pelahatchie in central Mississippi. My family and I have hosted our first student and look forward to many years of hosting other students from different countries. I enjoy traveling, shopping, cooking, and spending time with my family. I’ve been married 20 years to my husband and have two daughters, ages 8 and 15. I’m excited to work with exchange students because I get to help fulfill their dream of living in America. I also love that I get to make new friends all over the world,” said Angela Cooper.
Cooper is excited for this new opportunity to work with international high school students and the local families that host them and feels that having exchange students in our local schools and communities increase mutual understanding and improves relationships between countries. Cooper will be working with families and schools in Pelahatchie and in the surrounding area.
Cooper is currently looking for families that would like to host for the school year of 2023. Exchange students live as a member of the host family—not a guest or boarder. They participate in family activities, follow host family rules, and help with chores. Students have their own medical insurance and spending money to cover all personal expenses; Host families provide room & board and loving parental guidance to the student. As the Local Coordinator, Cooper is available to answer questions, give advice, and provide general support to students and host families throughout the experience.
