CAMPBELL COUNTY, TN (WLAF)- Educators make a difference in students’ lives every day. For many students, having a school employee who cares and goes that extra mile can be the difference in a successful education and graduation. We’ve all had that teacher, or school employee who inspired us or helped in some way. That’s why WLAF and Eagle Tire Pros salute all of our hardworking educators with a weekly feature.
Adam Ellison is Eagle Tire Pros Educator of the Week. He teaches ISS at Campbell County High School. He is also the head baseball coach at CCHS and the assistant girls’ basketball coach.
Ellison has lived in Campbell County his whole life.
“I proudly attended Jacksboro Elementary, Jacksboro Middle and am a 2004 graduate of Campbell County High School,” Ellison said.
He is entering his fourth year as the ISS teacher at Campbell County. Before that he worked at LaFollette Middle and Caryville Elementary Schools.
He completed his second season as the head baseball coach at the high school and his sixth season as the assistant girls’ basketball coach.
In his spare time, he enjoys “golf and watching his daughter Maddi play Volleyball!”
“I am married to Rashawn, who is the Cosmetology instructor at Jellico High School. We have one daughter, Maddi, who is 12!” Ellison said.
He shared the names of teachers that influenced him and his career in education.
“Some of the educators that have influenced me are Janice Hicks my Kindergarten teacher, Richard Claiborne at JMS and John Turnblazer who was also my basketball coach at JMS.”
He said his favorite part of the job is the co-workers that he’s fortunate enough to work with.
“They make coming to work easy! I also enjoy the relationships you create with the students. We have some of the best! Campbell County is a great place!!!”
