Let's give a warm welcome to our new Assistant Athletic Director, Coach Stokley! Hello Bulldogs, my name is Jordan Stokley, and I am excited to join the MKCHS staff as assistant athletic director and head boys’ basketball coach. I graduated from Lamar University and am currently working on my Masters in Education Administration. I have a wonderful wife named Courtney. Together we have a 2 year old son and a baby girl on the way this fall. I have been teaching and coaching several years, most recently at St. Anne Catholic School where I was the head boys’ coach and P.E. teacher. I have enjoyed working for the diocese and am grateful for the opportunity to continue to help students grow and develop in the Catholic school environment. I have been able to experience the importance of combining academics with Catholic values to help students grow academically as well as spiritually. I am passionate about sports, with my favorite being basketball. I feel confident that I can help develop a strong athletic program at MKCHS by encouraging students to perform at the best of their abilities while also helping them to accept challenges, develop individual skills, game knowledge, confidence and resilience. My goal is to not only focus on developing athletes, but also teaching students teamwork, time management and other skills that will help them throughout life. I am grateful for the opportunity to teach and coach your students. I can’t wait for the 2024-2025 school year!
