I am a 2005 graduate of Hewitt-Trussville High School, a 2011 and 2012 graduate of the University of Alabama with a BA in History and a BS in Teaching and Learning in the Social Sciences, and a 2015 graduate of Samford University with a Masters of Education.  I have been back home teaching at HTHS since 2013, and I am very excited to be here.  I have been teaching 11th grade U.S. History, and am excited to move to P.E. at Cahaba Elementary!  I am the tight ends coach for the HTHS Varsity Football team.  I am very excited and blessed to have the opportunity to impact students' lives on a daily basis.  

In June 2017, I married my beautiful wife Maddie.  She is a 5th grade teacher at Paine Elementary in Trussville.  We live in Trussville with our dog Murphy.

Please contact me at jake.garrett@trussvillecityschools.com if you have any questions or concerns.  

I'm looking forward to a great year!

Coach Garrett
