Meet our faculty - Mr. Richard Jowers, PE and Health

We are excited to share with you a little bit about our newest faculty member, Mr. Richard Jowers. 

My name is Richard Jowers. I received my degree in Health and Physical Education K-12 with a minor in coaching from Elizabeth City State University. During my years at Elizabeth City State, I earned three letters while on the football team. I also have held positions on campus such as the president of my fraternity, Omega Psi Phi Inc., as well as serving as a campus photographer for sports and activities. My coaching experience includes coaching football for the 2010 state championship runner-ups 2AA Northeastern High School and the 2011 CIAA Runner ups Division 2 Elizabeth City State University. My basketball coaching experience ranges from high school to AAU girls and boys teams for almost four years.

I have a background in many sports from basketball to tennis. I attended four high schools between Virginia and North Carolina so I believe I have a good understanding of the different demographics, culture and politics. I have a background as a rehabilitation technician and working with mentally and physically disabled children. I have many different certifications such as NCI (North Carolina Intervention), CPR and even Photoshop/Adobe series.

I believe that I can offer RTHS leadership, group cooperation and initiative. I offer students a wealth of knowledge beyond the classroom that will help them in life. I also believe that I have the ability to engage all students and make them value education. I don’t believe I can change the world, but I believe I can help our children do so.
