When asked where his passion to teach came from he said, “When I came back home from college, my high school football coach reached out to me. He said he knew the kind of person I was, and that he thought teaching and coaching was something I’d love to do, so that’s when I kind of got into teaching”.

Mr. Colson’s coaching life began when he was in college. He got his passion from his former high school coach. He hopes to continue coaching football here at Mill Creek.
