The Pascack Valley Regional High School District is pleased to announce that Pascack Valley High School Alumna Dara Cooper (class of 2013) was awarded an Emmy Award for her work as a Lead Associate Director for Sports Center.
After Dara graduated, she went on to study Broadcast Journalism at Penn State University. She started at ESPN in 2018 as a Stage Manager but was quickly promoted to Associate Director a year later. In 2022, Dara became the Lead Associate Director for Sports Center at Night. As an Associate Director on SportsCenter, Dara works with the Director to enhance the look of the show, by creating the graphics for the studio. It is her job to be the second Director in the control room and work in tandem to produce the most visually appealing show possible.
We are tremendously proud of Dara’s accomplishments and wish her the best of luck for her future.
