I was born and raised in Mansfield. I graduated from MHS in 1989 and married my high school sweetheart, Tiffany, in 1992. I have an undergraduate degree from Columbia College in secondary education (history) and a master's degree in educational administration from William Woods University. The 2023-2024 school year is my 24th year in education. I have taught in Cabool, Seymour and Mansfield as well as two years as the high school principal at Seymour.
Tiff teaches middle school and our three boys all attend (or graduated from) Mansfield. Jacob graduated from Mansfield in 2019 and Missouri State University with a degree in wildlife conservation and management. Jake is married to Grace and lives in Douglas County, Kile is a senior at Missouri State University studying for a degree in wildlife conservation and management. Kile is married to Malori and they live in Mansfield. Our youngest, Brock, is a senior at Mansfield. He is a four year varsity starter on the baseball team and is actively involved in many clubs and activities in school. Although most students call me "Coach Gray", my passion is in the classroom talking about all things related to the history of our great nation as well as the world! |
