Copenhaver prepares to take over at RMS
ROYAL CITY — Royal Middle School is getting a new principal. Jerrod Copenhaver, who has been teaching fifth grade at Royal Intermediate School since 2014, has been tapped to take over from the retiring David Jaderlund starting July 1. “I'm very excited,” Copenhaver said. “It's a great opportunity to keep working in this community.” Teaching school in Royal City is a long way from what Copenhaver thought he’d be doing. He grew up on the west side and planned from an early age to work in law enforcement. And he did that, as a juvenile probation counselor in Kittitas County. He worked toward his teaching certification during that time, he said.
