I would like to welcome you and your child to my class this year. This is going to be an exciting year for all of us. I'm Coach Shepherd and this will be my  second  year teaching in a classroom. My previous experience was in the business world.     I'm married to a teacher   Brittany Shepherd who teaches freshman biology at Palmetto High School. I have two wonderful daughters Kinsley who will be a high school Freshman and Madison who will be going into the 4th grade.  I'm   the new Athletic Director here at Northwest. I also coach football at Travelers Rest High School .  I'm a huge Georgia Fan (Back to Back Champs). Also I'm a huge Boston Red Sox fan.   I look forward to getting to know you and your child this year.
