Hometown Heroes: FBISD alumni return to coach within district
Bobby Darnell, a Clements graduate and current head football coach for the Rangers, also believes a campus and the community can thrive when someone with a vested interest serves as a teacher and coach.
“I enjoyed every experience I had as a student-athlete at Clements and wanted to bring that life and enjoyment to every student-athlete that walks the hallways of Clements High School,” Darnell said. “I’m not satisfied and won’t be until I feel like every student that gets to wear Clements on their chest, leaves as a more determined and productive leader of our community.”
Moreover, some of the graduates who started their professional journey in the district remain with Fort Bend ISD years later in their respective leadership roles.
“My entire coaching career has been in FBISD,” Darnell said. “This was where I felt I can give back to the community that molded me into what you see now.”
Ultimately, these hometown heroes took full circle journeys to inspire, motivate and encourage future graduates of the district. Therefore, they are grateful for the opportunity to serve as role models for students through their profession.
“I wanted to serve as a head coach in Fort Bend because I wanted to bring back all the knowledge and experiences I've gained since graduating from Hightower,” said Brewer.
“Fort Bend is a special place because it rewards students with so many resources and opportunities to grow, learn, and gain hands on experience,” Brewer said. “It is important to me that every student athlete understands how to take full advantage of all Fort Bend has to offer on and off the court or field.”
Overall, the district currently has over one hundred Fort Bend ISD graduates serving in a dual role as a teacher and coach within FBISD.
