About Me

"Hello there! I'm John Reed, an experienced educator with a passion for teaching that spans two decades. I proudly graduated from Texas State University, and since then, I've been dedicated to shaping young minds in the subjects of Government, Economics, and World Geography. Beyond the classroom, I've taken on multiple roles in the realm of sports, serving as the dedicated Head Cross Country Coach, Head Basketball Coach, and Assistant Track Coach, instilling discipline and teamwork in my students both on and off the field.

In addition to my professional pursuits, I cherish my role as a parent to two wonderful boys who constantly inspire me. As a member of Pi Kappa Alpha, I'm committed to fostering camaraderie and personal growth within our community. My home is nestled by the serene Lake Limestone, a place where I find solace and draw inspiration from the beauty of nature.

With a firm belief in the power of education and a zest for both athletics and family, I strive to make a lasting impact on the lives I touch, creating a positive ripple effect that extends far beyond the classroom."
