Who is Mr. Retherford?
Coronado Home Page
This is my fifth year here at Coronado K-8. I am originally from Fort Wayne Indiana where I have 11 years of teaching experience. My experience is in Physical Education, Science, Communication Technology, and Business Technology. I also have experience as a Grade Level Team Leader, Physical Education Department Head, and Intramural Director.

I have two children, a daughter who is on her own and lives in Indiana and a son who decided to stay here with us. I also have a beautiful wife of 26 years. We do live here in the Catalina area where we have views that we could have only imagined in Indiana.

Yes I am still an IU fan - Go Hoosiers!
