James Howell named Tribe Member of the Week

Bellefontaine City Schools is proud to announce its Thursday Tribe Member of the Week.

James Howell is this week’s recipient.

Title: Bellefontaine Middle School Physical Education and Health Teacher

Years of experience: 24 years

Why you love being a Chieftain: I love being a Chieftain because it’s allowed me to meet so many amazing students. I love how every kid is unique and talented in their own way, and I get to have the privilege to see them grow into young adults. It doesn’t get any more rewarding than that.

Classroom motto or quote to live by: “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” – Henry Ford

What you love doing outside of school: I love supporting our Chieftains whether it be on the field, court, or stage. I also love cheering on the Detroit Lions with my wife DJ and two sons Lincoln and Truman. Aside from that, I enjoy gardening, playing disc golf, and tennis.
