Joshua Washington teaches PE and health, and has coached Midtown track for eight and a half years. Prior to teaching at Midtown, Washington was a Grady student.
“My favorite part of coaching is being a part of a team that I was a part of when I was a student here as well,” Washington said.
Washington understands the importance of high school in developing students’ maturity, and said the best part of being a teacher is being able to build relationships with students and getting to know them personally to support them through their journey.
“High school is a very important part of life in terms of development,” Washington said. “A lot of the habits and things we do as adults were developed in high school. I attribute who I am a large part to the different experiences and the different teachers that I had at Grady.”
