Coach Sims & Coach DeGraw
About Coach DeGraw
My name is Kristi Degraw. I have been teaching for 23 years. All 23 years have been here at "The Rock".
I'm from Rockvale and went to Rockvale Elementary and Riverdale. I graduated from MTSU, where I majored in Physical Education and Mastered in Exercise Science. I played Basketball for the Lady Raiders for 4 years, and have set several records in my time there. Go Big Blue! I'm married to Andy and we have a son named Parker (22), and our daughter, a college freshman, Sydney. I love to spend time with my family and friends, cheer on the Alabama Crimson Tide, be outside, workout, sleep, go to church, and play with my doggies Lizzy the Jack Russell and our new Australian Shepard, Ziggy.
About Coach Sims
Hi everyone! My name is Meaghan Sims, this is my 11th year teaching Physical Education, and my 10th year at "The Rock". This is truly a great place to be. I'm so lucky to be here! I'm from a little town just north of Chicago, Illinois. (And YES, I am a Cubs and a Bears fan!) I went to Middle Tennessee State on a track scholarship and competed in the shot put, discus, hammer, and weight throw throughout my 4 years there. I also played a year of volleyball as a Lady Raider.
I have been married to my awesome husband Lindsay since 2010. We have 5 year old son, named Wyatt, and a 2 year old daughter named Whitney. We have a 9 year old Boston Terrier/Pitbull Mix named Boomer, and he sure keeps us laughing! I coach volleyball on the side and I love to play it as well. I enjoy working out, running, going to church and serving the Lord, and being with my family.
I am the yearbook advisor here, and have been working on the yearbooks for 8 years! I really enjoy getting to design and create them for everyone to have for years to come! I love teaching PE and getting to see ALL the kids in the building. I am blessed to work with the best kids and teachers in Rutherford County. I love my job!
If there is anything you need, please feel free to call us at the school or email us!
