Paul Richmond is the teacher and coach you wish you had in high school.
He attended the University of Charleston on a golf scholarship and earned a business degree in 1994.
Upon graduation and a brief finance career, Paul decided to go back to school and become a high school teacher. He earned his Master’s in Education (along with his teaching certificate) from Elmira College and began his career.
Paul taught public HS social studies for 18 years. For the past 8 years, he has led a public high school program called New Visions Innovation, Leadership, and Business. High school juniors from surrounding school districts apply, interview and are selected. Students learn entrepreneurship, receive 15 college credits, and spend between 20-40 days in their community, learning and working with business leaders, developers, and the local chamber of commerce. They graduate with experience and a network superior to that of the average student.
Paul has also spent his entire career coaching a combination of high school golf, volleyball, basketball, and softball, depending on the year.
In addition to teaching, Paul currently is securities licensed and has a financial business, is part owner in a food truck, has authored the book “Energize the High School Classroom” and contributed to the financial literacy book “Building Financial Competency”. He also co-hosts the podcast “Anecdotes for Success”, which helps others take the steps to succeed through truth, meaning, trade-offs and perspective.
Paul is practicing the skillsets he preaches.
