Hi. My name is Coach Atkins and I am excited about being your P.E. teacher this year. I have taught P.E. for 20 years, and look forward to my third year at Inman Elementary. Before I began my teaching career, I graduated from Landrum High School. I then attended Anderson University where I received a B.S. in Physical Education. While at Anderson University, I was also a member of the baseball team. In addition to my teaching duties here at IES, I will be coaching basketball and baseball at Chapman High School. I enjoy teaching and coaching because it allows me to help young people, and be a positive influence in their lives. Some of my hobbies include spending time with my family, playing golf, and watching college and high school football. I especially like to attend Chapman Panther football games on Friday nights, and watch Notre Dame Football on Saturday afternoons. We are going to have a lot of fun this year in P.E. class. We will learn the importance of exercise, learn sport specific skills, and play many interesting games. Always remember to do your best, and be willing to help others!
