Many of us know the semi-new teacher named Mr. Hodos, but only a few know who he really is and where he came from.
Mr. Hodos’ primary job is to teach physical education, but the funny thing is that he was never really interested into teaching P.E. “I like coaching and teaching P.E.,” he said. “I like the kids that go here, I truly believe that we have the best teachers and the best school systems,” Mr. Hodos said.
Mr. Hodos is no stranger to these parts, as he went to school at Pittsford and graduated in 1989. After that he proceeded to get a tri-minor and started teaching L.D. at Waldron. “In L.D. classes there is a lot more paperwork and a lot more parent time,” Mr. Hodos said. After teaching at Waldron he decided to come back to his home school and take over as the P.E. teacher when Mr. Cook was bumped up to being the school’s principal. “It was an easy choice,” said Mr. Cook. “I believed that he could get the kids disciplined and get their respect.”
Mr. Hodos also has been coaching J.V. Football at Pittsford for years now and takes what he learned from coaching on the field to the classroom and into the gym. “I take coaching and teaching the same way; it’s not just about being an athlete or a student. It’s about lifelong learning.”
