The day emphasized key themes such as raising the standard, communication, leadership roles and the utmost importance of maintaining academic excellence within athletics in order to mold high-level student-athletes who are champions on and off of the playing surface.
The event also featured encouraging remarks from KISD Deputy Superintendent for Operations Scott Hequembourg, Assistant Superintendent for Administrative Services Susan Buckley, Executive Director for Boys Athletics Matt Carroll, Executive Director for Girls Athletics Latisha Williams, Fellowship of Christian Athletes area director Andrea Womack, and special guest speaker David Wetzel.
Wetzel, currently the Executive Director of the "B" Association at Baylor University, began his coaching career as an assistant at Ellison High School from 1992 to 1997 and later served as head coach at Killeen High School from 2000 to 2003. In his inspiring keynote address, Wetzel thanked the coaches for their dedication and urged them to embrace their roles as servant leaders.
