Colonel Enicks Is Turning Out Leaders At Red Bank High School

I am a former teacher and football coach at Red Bank High School. I have been a witness to the great things that happen at Red Bank High School.  The teaching staff has a great mixture of experience and promising new teachers.

 

Dr. Robertson, the principal, is a great man and a wonderful role model for students. He shows up the same way every day and his consistency is a great quality for students who may not have a lot of consistency in their life. It was a pleasure to have worked for JRob.

 

As far as the junior ROTC is concerned, it is a shining example of what is good about Red Bank High School. Colonel Enicks is a no-nonsense man who takes young men and women and teaches them to perform as a functioning unit. Some of these students struggle in other areas but respond to the discipline installed by the Colonel and his staff. I balk at the idea that kids do not want discipline. We have parents and teachers who want to be buddies instead of taking up the challenge to prepare children for the road instead of the road for children.

 

I have personal experience of what the Colonel can do.  My son is entering his second year at the Naval Academy. I do not think he could have reached this level of success without the Colonel’s direction. The Colonel has at present one Red Bank student at the Naval Academy and one at West Point. I know for a fact that he has sent another student to Navy and possibly another to another military academy. That’s 3-4 students to attend military academies from a public school in the short time the Colonel has been at Red Bank. I challenge you to match those numbers with another public school the size and demographics of Red Bank.

 

I am still teaching and coaching and my first hand experience is that discipline starts at home. Challenge teenagers instead of making excuses for them.
