About Coach Willis
Hello! My name is Andrew Willis and this is my fifth year as the physical education teacher at Graham A. Barden Elementary School. I was born and raised in Newport, North Carolina. From an early age I enjoyed sports and being physically active. This led me to pursue a physical education degree from East Carolina University. GO PIRATES! After leaving ECU, I taught middle school for 5 years. While at the middle school, I was the Athletic Director, Head Baseball Coach, and Assistant Girls Basketball Coach. My goal as a physical education teacher is to get children active. Also, I want children to know how to make healthy choices both at school, and outside of school. I look forward to another year teaching the children at Graham A. Barden.
