INTRODUCING SCA'S

his past August St. Cecilia Academy welcomed Coach Robert Jemison on board as the school’s new athletic director. Although he is new to St. Cecilia, he is no stranger to the city or its Catholic community. A longtime parishioner of Christ the King, Jemison attended grade school there from fourth to sixth grade before transferring to St. Vincent School for seventh and eighth grades. His love of sports started in grade school and continued at Father Ryan High School, where he played football, wrestled, and ran track. His time at Father Ryan was marked by coaches like Pat Simpson, Joe Drennan, and Tommy Bateman. “All of those coaches made such a big impact on me,” says Jemison, and his connection to them continued long after graduation.
