John Wooden's Corner

[Scott Habeeb]

John Wooden - the man, his accomplishments, his life, and his legacy - is a gift to teachers trying to help students reach their full potential. By bringing John Wooden into the classroom teachers will have an amazing opportunity to give students glimpses into the type of character and virtues that need to be present in their lives. For that matter, students can explore John Wooden on their own.
