James Pennington
English Teacher & Football Coach
Education
I graduated from Cardinal Newman High School in northern California in 2011. I graduated in May of 2017 with my BA in English Single Subject Concentration from Sonoma State University, then graduated from the SSU Teaching Credential Program in May of 2018 with a focus on Secondary English Language Arts Education. I have been coaching football for half a decade at Cardinal Newman High School, working with all levels and age groups of student athletes.
This webpage is dedicated to the furthering of my own education and the education of my past, current, and future students. This webpage will be the course homepage for each of my classes and therefore designed with students, teachers, and parents in mind. I welcome any curious mind to wander this webpage for meaningful content.
As this page is in it’s earliest stages, I hope that anyone interested in future essays and content related to teaching, coaching, and interacting with literature, will continue to return to this webpage once I have had more time over the upcoming summer to continue building this webpage.
Below are my most recent letters of recommendation, my resume, and cover letter.
