Ted Huffhines

He has a BS Ed. from UT Austin, a Master of Education at PVAMU, and a Mid Management Certificate from SFA. He has been in Education for over 28 years as a teacher, coach and administrator. Ted is a deacon and Sunday School teacher at Central Baptist Church.  Principal Certification from SFA, Superintendent Certification from TAMU Commerce. Ted is an active member of Rotary, TASSP and ACSD.

His wife Angela is "Fast For Word" Reading Coordinator for MISD. She has served as an officer in the Mavette and Chorale booster clubs Ted and Angela met while students at UT Austin, both graduated in 1983, were married January 7th,1984 and have two daughters, Holly and Heather, both graduates of Marshall High (Wife, Angela is too). Both girls sang in the award winning MHS Chorale. Holly (2007-8) and Heather (2010-11) were Mavette Captains and three year members of the drill team. His oldest daughter, Holly, is a senior math major at UT Austin and will graduate in May 2012. Youngest daughter, Heather, is a freshman communications major at UT Austin.

Ted loves to travel and spend time with his Family (Angela and recently took a cruise in Alaska), but he is into golf too, admittedly not well, but who is?  He loves being in a blind on a cold winter morning waiting for the first ducks to fly by, or being outdoors stalking an elusive deer, through the woods.  In a boat on the lake or the bank of a nearby river or pond, fishing relaxes and invigorates him.  Ted can just as easily curl up with a good historical fiction novel, or lose himself in the twists and turns of a really good spy yarn, or take in a Movie.  He claims a modest talent in the kitchen and on the grill as well, where he likes to try cooking different things different ways.  As you can guess he is into almost all sports Maverick related, but cheers the for the Longhorns, Rangers, Cowboys, and Dallas Mavericks, when the opportunity arises.

Ted is a faithful Rotarian, having joined the club in 2008, he has always said “Yes” when asked to do a job or take part in an activity.
