Wings Of Fire Coaches

Coaches

The coaches (teachers) for the Pontiac High FIRST Team are a group of dedicated professionals who are taking on the responsibility of providing us with the best enriching educational experience in education today. Many of their efforts are behind the scenes pre- and -post season. Many, many hours of planning are required to coordinate all the activities for our team. The coaches are also classroom teachers with full classroom responsibilities in addition to the FIRST Team activities. Much of the work required is done before and after school. Often the scope of this project requires evening and weekend meetings and organization. When traveling they are considered our "parents" looking out for our welfare and safe keeping. They take seriously the confidence our parents have placed in them. Their decisions are always what is best for the student first and the team second. Decisions regarding team rules and procedures are based upon experience, school district and Engineers input. We are expected to honor any request made by a coach.
