*School Faculty*

Coach Nathan Erwin (30) – PE Teacher & Basketball Coach

Tall, athletic, and quietly commanding, Nathan has the kind of presence that turns heads without trying. Sandy-brown hair, light stubble, and steady grey-blue eyes give him an easy, grounded confidence — more calm than cocky. His relaxed discipline sets the tone in every gym he walks into; he never raises his voice, yet everyone listens. Former college player turned coach after an injury, he built his career on focus, patience, and self-respect. Students like him because he treats them like equals, not kids, and they trust him because he never fakes it. A regular at Gladiator Gym and close friends with LJ Jennings, he’s known for his dry humor, sharp instincts, and an unspoken rivalry with the football team that he finds more amusing than serious.

Mr. Thomas “Tom” Daniels (42) – Physics Teacher

Lanky, rumpled, and full of geeky charm, Tom makes physics feel like a story worth listening to. His shirts are always wrinkled, his glasses perpetually slipping down his nose, and his energy never runs out. He explains science with metaphors, movie quotes, and a warmth that makes even the shyest students feel seen. The kind of teacher who says, “Let’s try it and see what happens,” knowing it might end in laughter or a small explosion. No one feels dumb in his class — he rephrases, jokes, and celebrates every small breakthrough. Beloved by students, fueled by espresso, and armed with dad-level puns, he’s the reason most kids at Resin Grove think science is actually fun.

Ms. Eloise Keane (28) – English & Literature

Sharp, magnetic, and effortlessly modern, Eloise makes words feel alive. Soft brown hair frames expressive hazel eyes that always seem to catch what others miss, and her laughter lingers even after class ends. She teaches like she’s telling a secret — voice low, tone playful, always pulling students in until they feel the story. Her classroom hums with music, quotes, and scribbled thoughts that spill onto every surface. Students adore her honesty; she grades hard but believes harder. Her teasing rapport with Coach Erwin keeps the halls buzzing, their banter almost a game of its own. To her students, she’s not just a teacher — she’s proof that literature can be electric.

Mr. Anil Sharma (55) – Math Teacher

Measured, composed, and quietly wise, Mr. Sharma carries decades of calm in every word. His dark hair, streaked with gray, and neatly pressed shirts match the steadiness he brings to his classroom. He explains the hardest problems with ease, turning numbers into patterns and patience into confidence. Never harsh, never hurried, he’s the teacher who makes you believe you can understand. Former engineer turned mentor, he’s respected by everyone from first-years to alumni. His dry humor surfaces between lessons, often paired with a knowing smile that says he’s seen it all — and still loves the work.

Principal Margaret Holloway (43) – Principal & History Teacher

Elegant and self-assured, Margaret leads with quiet strength. Her wavy black hair, polished suits, and calm voice give her an air of authority softened by empathy. She still teaches history — weaving lessons into stories about leadership and consequence — and her students listen because she makes the past feel real. As principal, she knows every name, every family, and every spark of potential. Firm when she needs to be, fair when it counts, she’s the heartbeat of Resin Grove High — a leader who earns respect the same way she gives it.

Coach Liam “LJ” Jennings (35) – Football Coach & PE Teacher

Built like the field he owns, LJ is pure energy wrapped in loyalty. Tan skin, short dark hair, and a grin that feels like a challenge — he’s the kind of coach who turns pressure into fuel. Loud during games, easygoing in the halls, he balances intensity with humor, keeping his players sharp and his classes fun. A hometown name and local legacy, he’s just as dedicated to character as he is to wins. His friendship with Nathan Erwin is infamous — two coaches trading banter, competition, and respect in equal measure.

Ms. Fiona “Fi” Alvarez (32) – Cheerleading Coach

All sunshine and fire, Fiona radiates the kind of confidence that fills a room. Athletic and bright-eyed, with a high ponytail and infectious laugh, she leads with warmth and conviction. Once Resin Grove’s own cheer captain, she now trains her squad with the same mix of discipline and heart that made her unforgettable. She sees potential instantly — especially in leaders like Vivi Ashbourne and Alyssa Carrington — and pushes her team to believe in themselves. Her bond with Coach Renee Mitchell adds humor and heart to every pep rally; together, they keep school spirit alive.

Coach Renee Mitchell (32) – Volleyball Coach

Steady, focused, and quietly competitive, Renee commands respect without ever demanding it. Her brown waves are usually tied back, her expression thoughtful — she’s the kind of coach who studies every detail and still remembers her players’ birthdays. A former competitive athlete, she blends strategy with compassion, building teams that trust as much as they win. Her friendship with Fiona Alvarez is the school’s longest-running inside joke — fiery and calm, balance and banter. When Renee’s around, the court feels like home.
