Cameron Cooke: A Perfect Career at LSU

Former Central School System Student of the Year

BATON ROUTE — A Central native and former Central Community School System Student of the Year has completed work for his B.S. degree with a perfect 4.0 average

Cameron Tyler Cooke was also honored as one of 13 graduates receiving the coveted University Medalist Award.

Cameron received his Bachelor of Science degree in political science with a minor in sociology.

He is the son of Todd and Melanie Cooke and brother of Christopher, Kaitlyn, and Kelsey Cooke.

Cameron is a member of the Painted Posse, a group of LSU who are very vocal in Tiger Stadium during LSU home games.

Cameron recently appeared on Fox News, yahoo.com, Huffington Post, and other national publications for his leadership in exposing anti-Christian bias.

LSU was found to have edited the crosses from the Painted Posse’s popular LSU jersey body paint in a broadcast email.

He credits his success to his faith in Jesus Christ, his supportive family and friends, and his now fiance Melissa Schroeder. Cameron asked Melissa to marry him on November 17 at the Ole Miss game in front of 92,000 of his closest friends in Tiger Stadium.

Cameron now is employed by State Representative candidate Barry Ivey. Cameron plans to pursue an MBA and a career in public service and business management.
