Coach G's Mission Statement

I believe you and I are part of a great crusade, to help you become a hard-working success story, destined to be leaders of our Republic, armed with knowledge, wisdom, drive and ambition.

This can only come about, if you and I try to out-work each other, daily, as we use our seven hours and twenty minutes productively, without the temptation to waste even one second. School is your job, and it is also mine.

It is my job to see that you learn to respect everyone, understand our rules, and practice positive outcomes, in every situation we encounter. Such positive behavior will gain my respect.

I will give you a safe learning environment.

I will not let anyone to bully you or cause you to feel threatened.

I will not let you do any of these things to anyone else, including me.

I will arm you with skills, challenges, inspiration and courage.

I will push you each day, to be your own personal best, regardless of what anyone else in class is (or is not) achieving.

I will cause you to never tell a parent (when they ask you about your day in my class) that you "didn't do anything" but to instead say, "Let me tell you about what we did in History Class, today!!"

I will do my best to be your mentor, not for what I teach you, but for life lessons you will remember and practice, long after I'm dead and gone.

.....And......most importantly to me, I will work hard to get you to love and respect your parents, who brought you into this world. If you will learn to be humble, grateful and obedient for them, then you will naturally want to give me that same humility, gratitude and obedience.

None of this is impossible, but it will not happen without team effort. My desire is to produce the best of the best. The world you are inheriting needs the best people, to work hard, navigate this vessel in which we all sail, and the best and most humble human beings who will help steer us into our future. I want that person, to be each of you.
