Cody is a math teacher at South High School. He has been teaching for four years total, with this being his first year at South. His passion for working with students and helping them grow inspired him to choose teaching as his profession. Cody credits his experience coaching youth sports and volunteering at sports camps as the moments when he first discovered his calling for teaching and coaching. During his time as a student-athlete, Cody was profoundly influenced by his high school football coach, Mike Vernon. Now, as both an educator and a coach himself, Cody values the opportunity to seek advice and guidance from Mike. He takes pride in building meaningful connections with his students and creating a positive impact in their lives. Fun fact—before joining South High School, Cody taught fifth grade for three years.
