Girls' Athletic Coordinator

I am very excited to have your child in my P.E., Pre-Athletics, or athletics class this year.  I am a native Victorian and a graduate of Victoria High School and the University of Houston-Victoria.  I earned a B.S. in Education with a minor in mathematics.  I have 32 years experience teaching in VISD.  I have been at Cade teaching PE and coaching since our school opened in 2010.  I have been married for 32 years and have 2 children.  My son, Miles graduated from West High School, and then Sam Houston State University, where he was a 4 year letterman in baseball.  My daughter, Marit, graduated from West High School, where she played volleyball and track high jump and then graduated from The University of Texas.  I am thrilled to be teaching your 6th grader P.E., Pre-Athletics & coaching your 7th or 8th grade athlete.  Communication is the key for a successful year, so feel free to contact me anytime at missey.manning@visd.net
