My name is Garrison Cherry, or Mr. G to your child, and I will be teaching your child Health Education this year!
I am twice a graduate of the wonderful school that is East Carolina University! In 2012 I graduated with a degree in Kinesiology which is the study of human movement. After a brief period in graduate school at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte I decided that I wanted to use what I've learned to help impact the health and well being of today's youth. That led me to pursue my Masters of Arts in Teaching which I received in May of 2014!
I look forward to working with you and your child in making school Health Education a priority equipping them with health skills that they can utilize over their lifetime!

Throughout this semester students will be learning concepts and skills found under the major aspects of health: Nutrition and Physical Activity, Alcohol Tobacco and other Drugs, Sexual Health, and Mental and Emotional health.
I take a skills-based approach to educating my students so many of my methods require students to be up and moving and applying what they learn in an interactive atmosphere! |
Activities I use to better facilitate learning:
- Role-Play (Skits)
- Cooperative Learning
- Video Examples and Analysis
- Debates
- Group Discussions
- Hands on Skills Execution
- Guest Speakers
