Allan Tenney

I have been teaching ELA since 2000 and have been at VSMS since 2004.   I feel incredibly privileged to be able to teach and coach in this community.  My teaching goal is to help students become independent critical thinkers.  My coaching goal is that my student-athletes value their school and team above themselves while learning to be amazing players.
