Mr. Richards

Hello!

I am Coach Richards and I am entering my 10th year in education and my fourth year at Lopez Middle School as the Boys Athletics Coordinator. My first teaching experience was at Converse Elementary School, where I taught Physical Education for two years. I was fortunate to be able to make the move to Northeast Independent School District by getting an opportunity to work at Ed White Middle School before making the jump to Lopez.

Originally from a small city in eastern Pennsylvania where I grew up playing baseball year round and focusing on my education. I had the opportunity to move out to the western side of PA where I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education and Health from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Following my graduation, in 2013, I moved to San Antonio and have been here ever since! I earned a Masters Degree in Kinesiology and Health from University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA- Go Runners).

This year I will be coaching 8th Grade Football, 7th Grade Basketball, and Track. Keep a look-out for me at various Lopez events and sports games because I will be there in support of our Panthers!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me via email at: Kricha1@neisd.net

Go Panthers, it's time to H.U.N.T (Hard Work, Unity, No Excuses, Tenacity)
