Welcome

Hi! I’m Coach Shepherd, and I’m excited to be your Health teacher this year at South Hills High School.

I have both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Kinesiology From Stephen F. Austin State University. I’ve spent my career combining my love for teaching, coaching, and helping students build healthy, successful lives. I currently serve as the Head Varsity Girls Basketball Coach here at South Hills.

I believe health education is more than just facts—it’s about learning real-life skills you can use now and for the rest of your life. In this class, we’ll explore physical, mental, emotional, and social health in ways that connect to your everyday experiences.

When I’m not in the classroom or on the court, you can usually find me enjoying sports, photography, music, or serving on the media team at my church. My goal is to make this a safe, encouraging, and engaging space where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
