Promotions

Congratulations, Coach Phil Pitts!

A great promoter of Helias High School, Coach Pitts bleeds blue and gold. He teaches five classes of Algebra I A and B, coaches football and baseball, runs Helias sports camps during the summer and supervises off-season conditioning and weight training. He and his wife, Lindsey, are co-chairs of the 2010 Helias Foundation Fund Drive. This year, he will serve as a Helias representative at the National Catholic Education Association Convention in Minneapolis, Minn.

In addition to his many activities at Helias High School, Pitts is working on a master’s degree in school administration from Lincoln University. He graduated from Helias in 2000, and in 2005 he graduated from the University of Missouri with a bachelor’s degree in general studies. He also played football at MU for four years. Pitts began teaching at Helias in 2005 and married his high-school sweetheart, Lindsey Brondel, in 2006.

“Phil Pitts brings enthusiasm and charisma to everything he does,” says Stan Ochsner, Helias dean of students and student activities. “I often use him as an example in my leadership class when we are discussing the qualities of effective leaders. He continually demonstrates an amazing work ethic, and his passion excites kids and inspires them to achieve things that they probably didn’t think they were capable of.

“Phil would be an incredibly valuable employee in any line of work. I am just glad he chose teaching/coaching and Helias.”
