Hello Cougars,

I sincerely hope you’ve had a bit of normalcy this summer. My name is Clemente Alquicira or Coach Alquicira (promise we will practice saying it) I have a bachelor’s in history from University of Houston-Downtown. I am US History teacher at Kempner as well as Head Coach for Girls Soccer. I find that Coaching and teaching have the greatest impact on a student years after he has left halls- of the school. My favorite quote is from MLK that reads “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education” – Martin Luther King
