“Shreve is a really good school, with really good kids, with really friendly teachers!” Coach Eric says.
Coach Martinez tries his hardest to be available to all of his students.
“Being approachable is my most rewarding part of being a teacher,” Martinez stated. “I know a lot of kids are afraid to ask their teachers questions.”
He looks forward to making connections with many of his students.
