Just like athletes, coaches get awarded too. Mr. Barcellos and Mrs. Barcellos were both awarded for their hard work. Being a coach and a teacher, can be very tough and not many people can do a good job at both.

Mr. Barcellos,  is our athletic director, ASB teacher, sports marketing teacher, and cross country coach. The cross country team, boys and girls, were undefeated this year with the great training Barcellos gave the runners. He was nominated by other athletic directors, and was awarded the Sac Joaquin Athletic Director of the Year. “I’m very humble about this award,” says Barcellos. “Only other athletic directors know how much work it takes.” His award will be presented in Reno at the State AD Conference in April.

Mrs. Barcellos is a PE teacher and girls tennis coach. The girls tennis team has been a very successful team for several seasons, with Mrs. Barcellos as their coach. She has done an amazing job to keep the team undefeated. She was selected as 1 of 6 model coaches in the Sac Joaquin Valley. Each league nominates one male and one female.  Mrs. Barcellos was nominated from our league. She was also recognized by the CIF and will receive a lifetime section pass. This means that she will be able to get into any playoff/section game for free. Her award will be presented in May.
