  • John Cooper Sworn in As 9Th Mayor of Metro Nashville
    JOHN COOPER SWORN IN AS 9TH MAYOR OF METRO NASHVILLE MAYOR JOHN COOPER’S REMARKS: Thank you to everyone for coming to Stratford High School this morning. This is special place. Fifty-six years ago — less than a week after Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his “I have a Dream” speech — my campaign co-chair — and my friend — Brenda Haywood — walked through these doors and integrated Stratford High. Today, Brenda joins me in my administration as deputy mayor for community engagement. Brenda, can you please stand? I am so honored by your trust and your support. Thank you. Today we gather together to celebrate a very special moment — the commissioning of a new government for our city. A co-missioning — a coming together. This is a celebration of collective action to make our community stronger. Today, we begin the work of making Nashville a city that works for everyone. Of ensuring that Nashville is a livable, nourishing city. Of making our city better. And we will do it together. That’s another reason we are here at Stratford STEM Magnet School. This is a school where TSU, Vanderbilt, and Nissan have come together to support the work being done here. This past year, 11 students from Stratford got full scholarships to Belmont University as part of Belmont’s Bridges to Belmont program. That’s a wonderful accom- plishment. But Stratford — like many of our schools — also faces challenges. It started the year without a chemistry or Spanish teacher. We are struggling to recruit and retain teachers. Teachers struggle to lead middle-class lives.
