Montverde Academy Hires New Director of Lacrosse
Chris Spaulding joins forces with Current Coach Brooks Sweet to advance the MVA Lacrosse Program
April 26, 2019 (Montverde, FL) – Montverde Academy announced the new hiring of Chris Spaulding, who will serve as the Director of Lacrosse and an Upper School Advanced Placement® (AP) U.S. history teacher.
Spaulding is an experienced educator who has positively affected the lives of students both in and out of the classroom. He was a recipient of the Golden Apple "Outstanding Teaching" Award in New York State, and also achieved a 90 percent pass rate in AP U.S. history for five consecutive years.
To complement his success in the classroom, Spaulding has an enviable record as a varsity lacrosse coach. Before returning to his home in New York for the past two years, Spaulding served as a history teacher and varsity lacrosse coach at Lake Highland Preparatory School in Orlando, where he was named U.S. Lacrosse Coach of the Year and Florida Dairy Farmer's Coach of the Year four times, and led his lacrosse team to four state championships. He will join forces with Brooks Sweet, Hall of Fame inductee, to continue to advance the lacrosse program at Montverde Academy.
"We aspire to hire the best teachers, artists and coaches to serve our students, and Chris Spaulding represents those qualities," said MVA Headmaster Dr. Kasey Kesselring. "Chris will make an outstanding addition to both our academic and athletic programs, serving our students well on their path to excellence.
