"That's the thing about me, I want to change the environment, the climate and culture, and just make sure these girls are thriving in an environment that is positive," Coach T. Matthews Williams said in talking about what she's bringing to the table.
Coach Williams encapsulates what it means to be a compassionate teacher, and her belief of foundation first could be a recipe for a winning culture in Kountze, Texas.
