Hello and blessings to you in the name of Jesus. My name is Robby Cherry and I am entering my eighth year teaching at Crean Lutheran High School. I am excited to be returning to Crean Lutheran and feel extremely blessed to be teaching in this rich Christ-centered environment.
I will be entering my eighth year of teaching math here at Crean Lutheran. This year I will be teaching AP Calculus AB and BC. In addition to these classes I will also be involved in our school's math club, which is an outstanding academic club offered at Crean Lutheran led by some of our very own students. I am also honored to serve as Crean Lutheran's Math Department Chair. In this role I will be leading our math department to fulfilling our school's mission of proclaiming Jesus Christ through excellence in education.
This will be my eighth year coaching cross country and track and field at Crean Lutheran, and my third year as the Head Cross Country Coach and Head Track and Field Coach for the Saints. Overall, I will be in my eleventh year coaching these sports at the college or high school level. In particular I was a graduate assistant coach at Lipscomb University for two years and an assistant coach at Biola University for one year before coming to Crean Lutheran.
Please read below to find out more about myself and how the Lord has brought me here.
I feel privileged to have received a Christ-centered education from Westmont College, in Santa Barbara. At Westmont, I pursued my passion of studying mathematics and competing in cross country and track and field, but also grew in my faith tremendously. After four years of studies, I earned a bachelors of science degree in Mathematics. In addition to a degree I also met my wife Elizabeth, whom I have been married to for six years now! Together we have two children Lauren and Cameron who are a joy and amazing blessing to us.
Upon graduating I took a Graduate Assistant Coach position at Lipscomb University (a Christian University in Nashville, TN). This position consisted of two years of assistant coaching at an NCAA Division I University as well as two years of studying to earn a Masters degree. After completing the program I earned a Master’s Degree in Education with an emphasis in Instructional Leadership.
Having received degrees both in education as well as in mathematics, I felt a strong calling to teach math and coach at the high school level. In 2011 I was fortunate to be called not only to teach, but also to coach here at Crean Lutheran High School. I can’t describe what a perfect match Crean Lutheran has been for me over the past few years. It is clear to me that God is sovereign over bringing me to this place for His purposes. It is my hope reflect God's love in this place through education.
