PHOENIX – With more than a decade of experience as a coach and physical education teacher, John Jeffries is leading the Phoenix Central School District’s athletic program as its new director of health, physical education and athletics.
Jeffries is no stranger to Oswego County interscholastic sports.
He was previously employed as a physical education teacher and multisport coach in Central Square, where he also served as the athletics intern.
He noted that his experience and familiarity with the local interscholastic sports scene will be beneficial to the PCSD community – a community that has welcomed him with open arms.
“What I like most so far are the people at Phoenix,” Jeffries said. “From other administrators to coaches, teachers, clerical, and operations and maintenance people. Everything they do is about the kids and providing the kids with the best experience possible. It is a top-notch school district.”
Jeffries said he shares the district’s vision and aims to foster positive relationships with all stakeholders.
In addition to becoming acclimated with the PCSD community, Jeffries has several goals he would like to accomplish during his first year.
“I want to celebrate accomplishments in athletics, physical education and health, get more participation in athletics and help increase school spirit and a positive atmosphere,” Jeffries said.
