The Koç School commenced the academic year with the leadership of Dr. Elif Kara Öztürk in High School, Meltem Önal Sertkaya in Middle School and Dr. Demet Niron Gören in Primary School. Faculty and staff greeted primary and middle school students on a “red carpet” along with freshly baked cookies and fun signs. Opening ceremonies included informational announcements for the new academic year while middle and high school students got a chance to hear about 2019 graduates’ impressive achievements. Alumni Gözde Ertekin (2011), Ceki Papo (2013) and Kerem Kaya (2016) participated in a panel themed “Being a Koc Member” and shared the value and meaning of The Koç School in their education and career paths.
