Darrius Banks was nominated by his colleague, Erin Mason. 

"If I could describe our athletic director, Coach Banks, in three words, they would be dedicated, supportive, and selfless. Over the years, I have seen firsthand how he goes above and beyond for our students. He always puts kids first, whether it’s staying late to ensure every athlete has what they need, encouraging them to push past challenges, or creating opportunities that extend far beyond sports. His leadership here at our school not only helps students succeed on the court, but build character, resilience, and confidence that carry into every part of their lives. Coach Banks is truly a LifeChanger for our school and the community," said Mason.

Very proud of this man for devoting so much time to the young athletes he mentors and coaches. Additionally, he is a family man that goes above and beyond in both work and family life. Me, my husband, and son have witnessed it firsthand. Thanks for all you do, Coach DB!!!
