Alan Parish Email & Phone Number

I am committed to supporting and improving "The Three A's": Academics, Athletics, and the Arts; this is due to my belief and passion that a great education, athletic experience, and arts involvement are for all. My drive is found in helping youth experience a caring, supportive, and fun learning environment. I daily seek to improve the experience for those fortunate enough to already be involved, but also to provide new and more accessible opportunities for the underprivileged.I have been coaching and managing youth sports and education since 2003. After playing four high school sports (cross country, swimming, track & field, and basketball), I ran cross country and track & field for Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. I took four years of art in high school and majored in graphic design in college. I began my coaching career as a volunteer head basketball coach and assistant swim coach at the American International School of Lusaka, Zambia while serving as a photojournalist.After working in Africa for two years, I began working at Darlington School in Rome, Georgia. For nearly a decade I was a graphic design teacher, dorm staff, and varsity head coach for swimming, track & field, and cross country while living on campus at the school. In 2014 my family moved to Germany and I served as athletic director for Black Forest Academy, where I also coached track & field and cross country. I returned to the United States in 2018 and served as Director of Athletics at University Liggett School for four years. I began working for Sora Schools in June 2022.

Listed skills include Sports Coaching, Leadership, Public Speaking, Writing, and 14 others.
