Gary Neeley

Gary Neely, one of our Physical Education teachers, has taught at AHS for 39 years. He enjoyed sports, so he became involved in teaching.

He graduated from Whitter College, where he received his Master’s degree in Education with a minor in Social Science History and a major in Physical Education

Neely has four grandchildren and a wife who has retired. When asked what he was going to do after retirement, he replied, “Travel, work around the house, relax and do a lot of nothing.”

He is very involved with students, staff, administration at school and believes that it’s a good place to stay and be.

The advice Neely would like to give to our graduating seniors is, “Things are going to work out and get better. Even though it’s depressing because of the economy, sit back and wait for things to turn around because everything is a cycle. Good things happen to good people.”
