Humans of SHS

LISA SHULZE AND COOPER

Each week Lisa stands in front of the lunchroom telling the students about the upcoming sporting events and themes for the cheer block. She comes in to get them excited to show school spirit and support their teams. She talks about all of the upcoming games and tells us how we can get involved with our school events. Sometimes she brings Cooper, her grandson, and sometimes she comes alone. Aside from that, not much is known about her.

Shulze first got involved about seven years ago, and now, she is the head of the Pep Club.

“I’ve always gone to Scottsburg sports, and they just asked me if I’d be interested in helping the kids show spirit,” she said.

Even after those seven years, she continues to come back, year after year, to get the students at SHS excited about sports.

“I have nephews and nieces that are still here, so I want them to show school spirit. I think if I do it, they will continue to do it too,” Shulze said.

When she is not at SHS, Shulze works at the Mariann Travel Inn as a desk clerk. However, when she has free time, Shulze spends time with Cooper, her five-yearold grandson. Just from watching them while they’re at school, you can tell that Cooper plays a major role in her life.

“He is my first grandchild, and I just love him so much,” Shulze said.

With all that she does, Lisa still manages to dedicate a small part of her life to making sure SHS has strong school spirit.

“I just truly think that Scottsburg has a lot of good kids here,” Shulze said.

Cooper is Lisa’s grandson and sidekick when it comes to visiting the high school each week. He is five years old and in preschool. Like any other kid, he loves to spend his free time playing. Currently, he “works” for Arbuckle Electric, but when he grows up, he wants to be a police officer.
