Hello! My name is Joseph McPhillips. I am so honored to begin my 10th year at West Elementary in the Physical Education Department! I feel I have the best job in the world because I get to interact with young students and teach them real world skills through sports. The life lessons that I have gone through is what motivates me to educate all my students to prepare them for lifelong success. I received my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Master’s degree in Educational Leadership all from The University of Alabama. I am also a Football and Basketball Coach in the Cullman City School System and cherish the memories and relationships made throughout my time coaching student-athletes.
I am married to my best friend, Tracie McPhillips, who is also a PE Teacher in Decatur City Schools. We live here in Cullman and have two beautiful kids, Ryleigh (5) and Dyson (2). In my spare time, I love being with my family and friends, going to the beach, and watching any and all sports, but especially Alabama Football. Roll Tide!
