Teachers that are engaged in students well being, unique opportunities to try new sports and outdoor activities, friendships that last a lifetime and a balance between athletic and academics.

Many of the teachers truly care about the students and their jobs as educators, but some do not treat the line between educator and friend as seriously as they should. While most of the teachers are professional and dedicated, some get carried away and/or could be more serious in the classroom.
