Hello, my name is Chris Davis

During the past thirty years, I have been teaching Physical Education at Fernando R. Ledesma High School. I was born and raised in El Monte where I attended Cortada Elementary and Potrero Middle School and then graduated from El Monte High School in 1986. During my time as a Lion, I was honored with many athletic achievements. The one that meant the most to me was the "Big E," awarded to one student for excellence in the area of athletics during a four-year period. After high school, I worked a couple of odd jobs while attending Cal Poly Pomona. Throughout a fun and exciting seven years, I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education. Soon after, I was fortunate to land a job at Fernando R. Ledesma High School, formerly Valle Lindo. In the 1999 school year, I earned a Teaching Credential at Cal Poly Pomona. In 2002, I earned a Masters in Education and a Pupil Personnel Services Credential from Azusa Pacific University. 

Physical Education students at FRLHS are not only exposed to the daily curriculum, but they have the opportunity to participate in extra-curricular activities. Since 1997, the P.E. Department has hosted a biannual Intramural Basketball League as well as weight training competitions four times a year. These activities as well as staff/student All-Star games that have been organized in the early years are the moments that I will treasure most. Working with students at FRLHS has at times been challenging, but these challenges have been extremely rewarding. I strongly believe Physical Education in all its forms is an important part of everyone's everyday life. Students need to set aside at least an hour a day for physical activity. Students take P.E. at school primarily because it's a requirement for graduation, but athletic exercise gives them the tools to lead a healthy lifestyle once they leave this campus.
