I've been married to my wife Alisha for 11 years. We have 5 kids, 3 boys and 2 girls, 1 grandson, and 3 granddaughters.  I graduated from Lovelady High School (Class of 89') where I played football and baseball.  I earned a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology from Sam Houston State University and a master's degree in educational leadership from Lamar University.  My educational career started off as a physical education teacher and coach. I've been in education for 25 years as a teacher/coach and assistant principal. I've had the pleasure of coaching several different sports where  I may not have state championship success, but I have had success in other ways.  In 2002 I had the pleasure of starting a high school softball program for Seminole ISD, in 2005 as the Head Basketball coach at Latexo High School I guided the team and school to its first District Championship and Playoff game in 26 years. In 2004 as Head baseball coach the team fell short in the Bi-District playoff win to the eventual state champions, and in 2009 as the Head Baseball coach, I guided the baseball team to a Bi-District championship play-off win. 

Brittany Lewis is a 2003 graduate of Newton High School and a 2007 graduate of Texas State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise and Sports Science. In 2012 she earned her Master's of Science in Human Services and served ten years in Health Care Administration before deciding to return to East Texas to be close to family. She, along with her husband Jared, and two daughters Olivia and Kathryn, returned to East Texas and she joined the Jasper ISD family in 2018 as a Special Education teacher.

Brittany’s passion has always been to advocate for and help those that can't fight for themselves. It is her wish to give every child an opportunity to grow and encouragement to be the best they can be- in the classroom, in their community, and in life.
