    Nick Pizzino
    Physical Education/Athletic Director
     

     Hello! my name is Mr. Pizzino I was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan and moved to Ada, Oklahoma at age six.  I grew up in Ada where I lived for 17 years of my life.  My immediate family still lives in Ada, Oklahoma. I graduated from Ada High School where I played football, basketball, and golf.  I attended East Central University where I was a member of the East Central golf team. 

     In 1995 I moved to Kernersville, North Carolina and continued my education at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.  While at UNCG I received a teaching scholarship and was fortunate enough to do my student teaching at Kernersville Elementary School and Southeast Middle School.  I graduated from UNCG in 1998 and received my first teaching position at Forest Park Elementary School in Winston-Salem, NC.  In that same year I was hired to be the 8th grade boys basketball coach here at Southeast Middle School.  I coached here for four years and I was fortunate enough to coach some really great basketball players while here at Southeast.  In 2002 I accepted another position to coach basketball and teach history at North Forsyth High School. I served as the head coach for the North Forsyth varsity girl's basketball team for two seasons.  In 2004 I began teaching at Bolton Elementary School where I taught for two years. During my last year at Bolton I began coaching basketball at Glenn HS until I was hired here at Southeast to be the new Athletic Director and Physical Education Teacher.  I will be starting my fifth year here at Southeast and I am looking forward to the upcoming school year.  I currently live in Kernersville with my wife Gretchen and two children.
