after 37 years of Dedication to the
san diego unified school district as
Athletic Director, Physical Education Teacher, APE Specialist &
coach, 
Gerry Knuppel retires.

Gerry Knuppel came to San Diego Unified in 1977.  He came to Clairemont High School in 1982.  In his tenure he lead his teams to numerous League and CIF Championships, received honors both as a teacher and coach, CIF Coach of the Year and Athletic Director of the year, just to name a few, but his legacy goes beyond the wins of his teams and awards.  One of his greatest accomplishments was the upgrades to what is now an outstanding athletic facility accessible for all of our students. 
Over the past 37 years he has touched many lives on and off the court, on and off the mat, on and off the field coaching Track & Field, Badminton, Volleyball, Wrestling, and Football.  He teaches more than the sport, though.   He teaches his students how to over come adversity, to exceed their limits, and to be successful in life. 

His motivation has always been the students.  " Be good to the kids and they will be good for you.  Keep them first."  - Gerry Knuppel

We would like to Thank You Coach, for always keeping Clairemont first and giving so much of your time and experience to your colleagues as well as your students. 
                                                                                                     You will be missed.
