Debbie Nakata – History

Craig Brantner – Strength Training & Weights

  • He cares about every student that comes into his class and shows it through his words and actions. I would have never thought about becoming a physical education teacher but he’s the reason why I’m getting a major in physical education and I couldn’t thank him enough for that. In the end, teachers truly make a difference in students lives and I want to do the same.
