This is my 17th year working at the MRH school district. I was a high school math teacher and am now the Coordinator of Assessment, Data and Accountability for the district. I have three children who attend MRH schools and am an alum myself. I was the high school volleyball assistant coach for eight years and have been coaching MRH Youth Sports volleyball teams for the past four years. I am very excited to get back on the court with the MRH Volleyball team.

My name is Sarah, I’m originally from Colorado but moved to Missouri last year. I’m a new momma with a 6-month-old bundle of joy! I’ve spent most of my adult life traveling the world and gaining lots of cross-cultural experience.
My husband and I lived in North Carolina where I coached two seasons of high school volleyball and fell in love with coaching young athletes! I am so excited to have this opportunity and am looking forward to the season ahead!My email is sarah.gerringer@mrhschools.net

My journey began in Ohio and continued in Arkansas, where I spent 25 years in the field of education, with 19 of those years dedicated to St. Louis Public Schools. My love for sports was evident from a young age, as I excelled in basketball and track in high school and even earned a college scholarship for basketball.
I continued to stay involved in summer sports, playing softball and participating in various traveling leagues. My passion for sports extended to coaching, where I led girls basketball at the middle school level and girls basketball, volleyball, and softball at the high school level.
I earned my bachelor's in K-12 Physical Education from Williams Baptist University in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas.I am certified to teach K-12 Health and K-12 Physical Education. During the 2016-2017 school year, I was a Teacher of the Year finalist.
I enjoy cycling, swimming, and spending time with my family.
