It is said that teaching is a calling. And, this is very much the case for Coach Isaac Fudge, who teaches, and coaches football, at George Ranch High School in Richmond. “I don’t really feel like I’m working. When you do something that you feel is purpose driven, you know, you don’t often feel like you’re doing a job.
So whatever is needed by me for what’s best for our kids, is whatever I’ll end up doing,” he told Houston life. And this, is just one of the many reasons Coach Fudge is the Teachers of Tomorrow 2023 Teacher of the Year.
“Isaac just really kind of came to the surface because of what he does in the classroom. His passion his dedication, his focus, and the way he also interacts with students outside of the classroom. He is just a wonderful example of why we want to continue to offer opportunities for individuals like Isaac to come into this profession, they are desperately needed,” said Teachers of Tomorrow CEO, Dr. Heath Morrison.
In the classroom, it is obvious he has the respect of his students. “If I am struggling he’ll help me. And like, he’s just an amazing teacher,” said student Moses Obanla before yelling across the classroom, “I love you Coach Fudge!” And, the love appears to go both ways. “His heart. That’s the biggest thing about him. He builds relationships with kids and just gets kids to buy into him, and then he holds those expectations high,” explained George Ranch Principal Heather Patterson.
