Middle School Physical Education Coach, Terence Pellum!

“I love sports and building relationships with people. I’m curious about many things, care deeply for others, bring energy to everything I do, and genuinely celebrate others’ successes. My favorite hobby is watching and playing sports, though I also enjoy exercising and spending time with family and friends. What motivates me most is seeing the results of my efforts reflected in a student’s understanding or in achieving a goal. I’ve always admired my Auntie for her generous spirit. She has a way of making people smile, checking in to see how you’re doing, and offering help whenever she can. Her kindness inspires me every day.

I’ve been part of the Keys community for four years, and during that time, I’ve discovered a favorite lesson to teach: Volleyball. I love it because every student can participate in some way, quickly develop new skills, fully engage, and gain confidence as they play. One of my favorite memories at Keys comes from attending Outdoor Education each Fall. Watching students bond, create lasting memories, and refer back to those moments throughout the year makes the school year feel even more meaningful. Another tradition I cherish is the 8th Grade Graduation, when the entire school gathers to celebrate our graduates: a joyful reminder of all we accomplish together. “
