“The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original size…”
This sentiment, attributed by Google to have been the original musings of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Ralph Waldo Emerson, or Albert Einstein… is now the teaching philosophy of Coronado High School’s newest film teacher, BigKat Manning.
BigKat, or “BK,” joined CHS in August of this year following a chance meeting with principal Shane Schmeichel, a meeting BK now considers ‘serendipitous.’ “I went to a teaching career fair at Liberty Station on a lark. Everyone I met was looking for a credentialed high school teacher, so despite my 15 years of teaching experience at the college level, there were no real opportunities for me. Thankfully, my kid wanted a piece of candy from every booth, so eventually I made my way to the Coronado High School booth where I met Shane Schmeichel, now the principal of CHS.”
