Hello Cougars! 

My name is Javier Valdez,

I am going into my third year as a high school teacher and my sixth year as a coach. I am a Cypress Lakes High School graduate (class of 2011), So I have been a native houstonian my whole life. God allowed allowed me to experience a lot valuable life lessons and success as a student athlete in high school, which allowed me to further my education and my baseball career at the Division I level at Texas Southern University. During my time there, I received my undergaduate degree in Health Studies and went on to receive my Masters Degree in Human Performance, where I quickly began my coaching journey with baseball and football athletes. These key events and experiences were pivotal in discovering my passion for teaching and molding young minds, which is why I place a premium on the opportunity to develop our students mentally, physcally, or even spiritually. Thank you Kempner High School and GO COOGS!
