Mrs. Cozzi
My name is Jody Cozzi, and my family has lived in Mascoutah since 2011. My family loves Mascoutah so much that my husband retired from the AF, and we continue to live in this fabulous community! I have been teaching 3 yr old Preschool at HCS since 2013. I have four children Melanie, Cas, Avery, and Leo. All four graduated from HCS. Melanie is a Nurse in Denver, Cas is in fourth year Seminary, and Avery is a Sophomore at Benedictine College, and Leo is a Sophomore at MHS. Also a part of our family is Dixie, our 9 yr old dog. I feel so very blessed to teach at HCS! Students are incredible and there’s no place I’d rather be!
