Mission Statement

"My mission is to empower both students and teachers by coaching and motivating them to see their value and worth and to show them they are capable of anything they put their mind to. The circumstances of my childhood allow me to be a guiding light to children affected by broken homes by giving them the hope they need to push through, because I was once just like them." - Coach Cordell

Coach Cordell connected and inspired two thousand educators in our school district who serve students in classrooms, offices, buses, cafeterias and yards. His personal story resonated with many in the room so much that they are still talking about it a week after the event. We all matter in our service to students and with each other. His energetic and positive message provided a reminder that has started our school year off amazingly well! Thank you Coach Cordell!

Student Shoe Giveaway

Coach Cordell's monthly student shoe giveaway is a heartfelt initiative born from his own childhood struggles. Growing up, he felt the sting of not having the latest shoes like his classmates, which often left him lacking confidence. Now, he's committed to making a difference in the lives of hardworking students and their families. By providing these children with brand-new shoes, Coach Cordell hopes to not only give them something practical but also to instill a sense of pride and confidence with each step they take; helping them walk a little taller and feel a little more valued.
