Varsity Head Coach Christopher Corr
Varsity Head Coach Christopher Corr
My journey in wrestling began early, wrestling competitively all the way from elementary school through high school. I went to Sachem North High School. There, I wasn't just on the team – I was a varsity starter for 5 years, starting in 8th grade! In high school, I also took a lot of different technology classes. That competitive spirit plus my enjoyment for hands on work led me to SUNY Oswego, where I further developed my skills and knowledge. I studied Technology Education, and I took some coaching classes. After graduating, I returned to the wrestling mat, this time as a coach at the Varsity level, sharing my experience and enthusiasm for the sport with the next generation of athletes. I also got my own technology classroom where I was able to make it my own to help students learn about the changing world around them.
As a coach and educator I hold many things important. The most important is that my wrestlers are STUDENT athletes. They are students first and their academics must always come first. I push my athletes to a high standard on and off the wrestling mat. Wrestling is as much a team sport as it is an individual sport. It is a sport unlike any other offered in high school!
My classroom is 113 in KMS if you need to talk to me.
