- Information about Coach Jett: This is my 29th year teaching here in Montevallo, needless to say, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE what I do. I have a passion for physical education and working with young students to help them learn to be HEALTHY and HAPPY movers! Because of the nature of our content, we can teach so much about movement, games, health and even character in our classroom. But like all teachers, my job is to just help ignite that SPARK for learning! I want to inspire students to reach their potentials and be the BEST versions of themselves. I love motivating students to just CARE! This is the perfect age to mold young and impressionable minds, so I love the everyday challenges that come along with middle school. My reward is when those students and parents that HATE movement, games, sweating, etc., and try their best to get out of PE, come to me later and are thankful for what they’ve learned in my class, and how I motivated them to CARE and WORK HARD! I look at myself as a LIFE coach whether I’m working with students, athletes, parents or even teachers. I come to MMS every morning to help brighten someone’s day and to hopefully be that SPARK that continues to spread into the lives of those that need the light and need the warmth. I am a proud GYM teacher and COACH that loves my job, loves Montevallo and loves being a BULLDOG!!!
- Be a good citizen today by helping someone in need!!!
- And Students Remember…..”Here at Montevallo Middle School, We Expect Success and Nothing Less”!
Have a Willful Wednesday!!
