Hello! I’m Coach Holmes, and I proudly serve as the Physical Education and Health teacher at Richmond Hill Elementary School. With over seven years of experience in education—including roles in science, STEM, and now PE—I bring energy, leadership, and a deep commitment to student growth.

I’m originally from Houston, Texas, and I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Human Performance and Sport from New Mexico Highlands University, where I also competed in football and rugby at the national level. I’m currently pursuing graduate studies at Georgia College and State University to deepen my understanding of leadership and instructional excellence. I believe in lifelong learning and leading by example.

I currently serve on the Instructional Leadership Team and have held several leadership roles, including:

• Department Chair
• PBIS Team Member
• Staff Mentor
• Field Day Coordinator
• Transportation Coordinator

I’ve also coached track and field, football, and basketball, and I’m passionate about helping students build confidence, teamwork, and healthy habits through movement.

Outside of school, I enjoy rugby, football, anime, fishing, and spending time with my friends and family. One of my greatest influences is my mentor, Dr. Ernest Greene, who once told me:

“My job is to make sure you display great character and become a good citizen.”

I carry that message with me every day, and it’s my mission to help my students learn and live by those same principles. I’m excited for what this school year holds and committed to making it a great one for every student I teach.
